Lava Hot Springs

For Thanksgiving this year we drove down to see Kirt's family in Utah. His mom and dad came over from Hawaii and 6 of his 8 siblings came. It was fun to see everyone. We hung out and played lots of games. It was a long drive, but it was worth it to see our family. We also went shot gun shooting, to the dinosaur museum and the the Vernal rec. center. On our way down to Vernal, we stopped and stayed the night in Lava Hot Springs and went to the hot springs. There was a swimming pool with 2 diving boards and a climbing wall that is warmed from the hot springs that we went to first. Katie jumped off the high dive. She is fearless. Then about 1/2 mile away there are a bunch of hot tubs with hot water from the hot springs ranging from 102-112 degrees. We wrapped ourselves in our towels and ran into the 20 degree night, drove to the hot tubs and ran and jumped in the warm water. It was kind of crazy. Of course our children loved the hot springs considering their extreme love of hot tubs. Then in the morning we got up and went and visited Kirt's Grandma Christensen. She lives about an hour from the Lava Hot Springs in Mink Creek Idaho.
