Lava Tubes

My sister and her family came to visit for Labor Day.  Bethanie loves to have the cousins' visit.  We hiked the Lava Tubes after breakfast.  The lava tubes are an underground tunnel that was formed by a lava river flowing thousands of years ago.  The mile long cave stays between 35-45 degrees fahrenheit, a cool change from my sister's 100+ degrees this time of year.

The tubes were even a hit with my teen and  pre-teen nephews and neice.  Afterwards we all enjoyed lunch at a local hamburger joint. To my sister and her family, "Come back and play again soon!"

Family fun

Just a few of the pictures taken during our trip to UT for cousin Ashlee's wedding and the Adoption conference.

 A day with some of Greg's extended family although we mostly stayed at the kiddy rides with these two cuties.  Bethanie just adores her nephew.

 Hangin' in our cool ride.

 Day two-Temple square.  Bethanie loved seeing all the old tools which were replicas of what was used to build the temple.  She also enjoyed the large Christus.

Day Three-Second trip to Lagoon.  Bethanie's all time favorite was the bumper cars, she rode on various cars at least eight times.

 Yay!  She has graduated from the stationary carousel animals to the ones that move up and down.
