summer vaca- part one

in july we had our awesome ashton family reunion in lava hot springs.
and it was so great!
we had such a fun time spending time with family!
we rented a big house so it was basically a huge sleepover and we loved every second of it. 
lava hot springs is so fun and bobby and i are kicking ourselves for not taking another trip there during our time in rexburg while we lived so close. 
the trip was just fabulous and other than a few meltdowns from bri, it was full of river rafting, swimming, playing games, name that tune, minute to win it, singing loudly, lots of laughing, ping pong, movies, and lots of delicious food!

some of my favorite pictures from the week
hugging cousin stevie. this happened ALOT.

getting ready to go rafting.

who is watching milli?

no worries. bri has the situation under control. :)

shout out to our two favorite missionary cousins preston and wilson who were missing!

more stevie hugging. yes they are a year apart and yes stevie may be the same size as bri. they are gonna be best buds.

pool day!

lots of this happened too. bri got spoiled with all the pop she was able to steal all week.

river rafting. please ignore our glaringly white skin. we live in alaska and idaho okay? dont judge.

she loves stevie.

taking a little phineas and ferb break

love this picture.

bri getting hugged by bella. it was a vicious cycle of crazy hugs all week. she would hug the babies and then bella would hug her. haha

playing with bubbles.

sucker time!
 we went to the pool at lava hot springs and it was so fun!
bobby was especially psyched about the three huge platforms that they have there. the tallest one was 33 ft.
they had a ton of cool slides too and it was so fun watching everyone working up the courage to go off the different levels of platforms!
i am proud to say that i went off each of the levels once...including the tallest. then i was done haha.
bobby went off the tallest one atleast 20 times so he thinks that he is pretty cool.

patriotic.

the 3 levels.

i made bobby go with me and i screamed the whole way down haha

synchronized.

it was such a fun week and we are already looking forward to the next ashton family reunion!
we miss everyone already!!

next up: awesome pictures from our trip to iowa this last week!

How fun! I love in the pictures of you jumping off the high dive that your nose is plugged from the second you jumped off the platform, that's my favorite. :)
