The BIG catch!

LAVA HOT SPRINGS -- June 2009

We enjoyed our first trip as a family to Lava Hot Springs, ID. We drove about 2 1/2 hours North to what felt like a different world. We camped at the local KOA and enjoyed hot bathing on Friday night. The kids absolutely loved it. I loved how warm it felt and then started to feel a little weird sitting in a large, hot pool of water with about 100 other people. Just sitting. No splashing. No loud laughter, just sitting and relaxing. Any way, we had an enjoyable time and the kids went to bed relax and warm!

The next morning we headed off to a small trout farm just 2 miles west of the city called Smith Trout farm. We had a wonderful morning enjoying the gorgeous view and catching a few small fish.
After patiently waiting by Madi's reel, Mom finally got a bite. And boy was it a bite of a life time! Heather and Madi caught a 5 1/2 lb, 26 inch rainbow trout! What a fun day!


SMORES anyone?
