In July we camped at Lava Hot Springs for 3 nights so the kids could go to swimming lessons Monday thru Thursday. We went with our good friends, the Madsens and Tolmans. The kids learned a lot during their 1 hour swimming lessons and really enjoyed it. They had their lessons every morning and then we had the rest of the day to play at the swimming pools/slides/platforms and we also went tubing down the Portneuf River. Each family took a turn cooking dinner, which turned out to be some really good dutch-oven cooking. We had so much fun and definitely want to do this again sometime.

| Even the moms got away for a float down the river |
 |
| Jake went down with the kids while I stayed with Cody. I guess the first trip down was pretty eventful because both Tyler and Brooke flipped their tubes going down a little waterfall. |
 |
| Brooke, Tyler and Jake jumped off the first platform. Then Jake and Jeff jumped off of the highest platform and lived to tell about it. HaHa |
