Summer Fun

We have had so much fun this summer. Here are some of the adventures.

We visited the Lava Tubes near Meadow, UT over the Memorial Day Weekend. We camped just outside of Yuba Lake and spent Saturday climbing through the lava tubes which was a lot of fun. We picnicked at the edge of a big white sand hill, from which several in our party got bitten by sand fleas or something. Very unpleasant for those bitten. After the lava tubes we went to some hot springs nearby. That was also fun (but I didn't get any pictures of it, DARN)

The kids loved it. Malinda walked through it all BAREFOOT! Crazy girl. She did pay the price when walking topside by getting stickers in her feet.

Where we started


When we were all done at the hot pots, Brian and Malinda noticed they had a flat tire. Not fun for them. It was about 7:30 at night and Meadow is not a very big town, which probably didn't even have a service station. Once they got the doughnut on, they had to drive to the next bigger town and luckily found a tire shop that had not yet closed.
