hot springs and ice cream!

This past weekend the hubs and I went camping! We went with 4 other couples. It was a blast. We went to the Lava Hot Springs just past Pocatello, Idaho. Anyone been there? It was amazing! I have been to natural hot springs before but these were awesome because they extract the sulfur smell and that makes it much more enjoyable :) They are basically like hot swimming pools and the closer you get to the mountain, the hotter the pool gets. The hottest pool was beyond HOT! I sat in it for a total of 2 minutes and then I was done. It was intense. We had a fire and made smores and all that good stuff. Overall, it was a great weekend.

    LAVA! Going there for Thanksgiving :) I LOVE LAVA. Funny about the ice cream-- whenever I eat ice cream I mold it into a square before eating it, it's like cake!

    I haven't been since I was a kid but it seems like soooooooo much fun!!! And that is great you were able to go with friends and make a real trip out of it.

    Next time you are in ID you have to stop by this place in Swan Valley, it is a gas stop and they have the cutest convenient store. They sell everything Huckleberry and square ice cream in cones. IT IS AMAZING!!! The best flavor is of course huckleberry. They keep track of every scoop they serve and have it up above the ice cream parlor! It is so worth it!
