Lava Hot Springs

 We decided, kind of last minute, that we wanted to go somewhere for Spring Break. We'd never been to Lava Hot Springs, so we found an RV campground, nabbed Amelia, and headed off. It was chilly, but that's the way it should be, so we weren't roasting in the pools. The experience was...interesting. It's an entire event/vacation revolved around sitting. It was good to experience, but once was enough for us. The lava hot springs were hot, and maybe helped my aching bones, but there's only so much sitting in a hot tub you can do.  We tried a local pool as well and it was so busy you couldn't really swim. 

One of the highlights were the ducks Audrey was able to feed throughout the day. We even bought them some peas and corn, but they only wanted our wheat bread. 

We explored the town a little. It's pretty small. There was a short nature walk that was cool. We found an old school Merry go Round and relived the glory days as we spun the kids so fast they flew off or got sick. Kids these days are "soft", so we had to toughen ours up. ;) A random family was at the park, by themselves, with their masks on. Once we arrived unmasked (Mike and I have both been vaccinated) they decided to leave, but not before the kids asked why we weren't wearing masks. Outside. With only our family. ;) There was a candy shop that sold random candy. They had "toy cigarettes" which Mike and I had to admit we thought were cool as kids. We bought them for the kids and then regretted our decision. ;) We bought the kids some poker chips at the grocery store and they decided playing Black Jack is the coolest thing and we had to put the brakes on it when they talked about have kids over to gamble when they got home. It is now only a camping game. It was a nice, short trip and I'm glad we could go.
