Reunion at Lava KOA

We went to Lava Hot Springs and stayed at the KOA for the Lewis Family Reunion this year.  It is always fun, but this year was a blast!  There were so many pictures that were taken, I had a hard time narrowing it down.  So warning....this post is picture overload.
 This is my favorite picture taken at the reunion, hands down.  Thanks to my cousin, Lindsey, for capturing such an adorable moment.  One morning we went down to breakfast and the girls were still in their jammies.  They took a little walk down the road together, holding hands. 
We had so much fun swimming at the pool on Friday.  Even baby Ben swam for a little bit. 
 I think that the kids look so stinkin' cute in their life jackets.
 The Kamping Kabin was set up for 4 people to sleep.  The girls shared the bottom bunk.  We put swim noodles under the sheet, so that they wouldn't fall out of bed.  Thanks to my Mom and Dad for buying them.  Eva did fall out one night.  It was sad.   It proved to be a challenge to get them to actually lay down and go to sleep.  This must be a sneak preview for when we put them in beds at home.  Oh my!  The rail on the top bunk was not very high.  We were nervous about Lucas sleeping up so high.  We made our own higher rail with other things.  It worked like a charm
 The Treats and Lewis's were so sweet to bring crafts for the kids to work on.  They had so much fun making visors and picture frames.
 While the kids were making crafts, a handful of the family went river running.  It was SO much fun!  I took a few spills, but I didn't get injured at all.  A few people in our group did, especially Stacie and Chris with bumps on their heads.  We ran it three times.  The last run was the best for me.  I made it down each waterfall without falling off my tube.  Yahoo!
 After they got done with crafts, they headed into town to get ice cream.  The shop scooped it out into a square.  So fun!
 We had so much fun hanging out at the campground, playing and having fun.
 The KOA put on a flashlight candy hunt for the kids.  How fun!  The auction was a huge success and made a nice amount of money.
We loved staying in our little Kabin.  It was nice to have electricity and air conditioning.  If we stay at a KOA again, we will definitely be choosing a Kabin again.
