Lava Hot Springs


We went to Lava Hot Springs with the Strand family this past weekend (June 18-20). It was a ton of fun and Austin was VERY excited to be tall enough to ride the "really tall, really fast" slides. Trinity wasn't tall enough, but spent plenty of time on the other slides (that I thought were just as much fun if not funner). Good time, great family and luckily at least one good day of weather.
Unfortunately on the way home one of the transmission lines rubbed against another line and it created a hole, we lost all of our transmission fluid and ended up on the side of the road (we were pulling the trailer in the fast lane going 75 when it went). Luckily Jeremy is mechanically inclined and he was able to cut the line and repair it, (in the pouring rain, covered in oil and leaking transmission fluid) while I hitchhiked down to the local truck stop in Ogden and got more transmission fluid.
Talk about an adventure. But we got it fixed, got back on the road and made it home in time to visit friends.

Trinity loses her first tooth

Trinity finally lost her first tooth. That tooth was loose for over a month and it took all we had to talk her into letting us pull it out. Jeremy tried wiggling it out, then Austin. I tried several times, we tried an apple, string on the door knob and FINALLY I was able to pull it out. She did a lot of crying (throughout the whole process) but was giddy when it finally pulled out. Too funny!
Austin lost a tooth that day to, so the tooth fairy played double duty :)
