Happy Birthday America!!

This year for the Fourth of July we decided to do something different. My mom rented a house over in Lava Hot Springs. We left Malta on the 3rd and we stayed in Lava till the 5th. It was a lot of fun. Our little house that we rented worked out so nicely. It was about a block and a half from the pool and from downtown. So we were able to walk every where. We didn't do alot the night of the 3rd just walked around town and then hung out at the house. Then on the Fourth we went swimming in the morning till about two and then we headed back to the house to eat lunch. We hung out there for awhile while some of us got a little nap in and then we headed to go float the river. Floating the river was so much fun. Poor Todd lost his brand new hat his first trip down the river, we had just bought in poky before heading to Lava. After we floated the river we headed back to the house to BBQ some hamburgers. And then a little later on we went and soaked in the Hot pools. Yes is does seem like we were in the water all day long and I LOVED IT!!! We were able to watch the fireworks for our little house. And yes our cute little ABBEY had to have a 4th of July outfit:) she was so cute.. It was so much fun to get away for a couple of days. It went by way too fast though I wish we could have stayed a few more days. The firework show had a few little bumps. They had originally canceled the fireworks cause they were afraid of fires but they got enough volunteers to help out. For their grand finale they usually set off these fireworks that look like lava flowing over the cliff but some how in the middle of the show there was a flame that set the lava fireworks off. And then it caused some little fires all over. So then they were more concerned about the fires so they would set a firework off here and there so there really was never a big finale at the end:) But it was still fun to watch. I had so much fun and I really hope we can go back soon.
