Summer Vacation with My Family

We had a marvelous time with my family, as always. It has been a fun tradition that we look forward to all year long. This year, the kids went rock climbing and had a lot of fun. Ashton and Emma even braved the challenge to hang upside down!






Here we are right after we finished our hike in the lava cave - I think it was about a mile long?? It was cold down there.
Evan, Ashton, and Claire - cave buddies.

What a goofball!



Becca, Malia, and Emma - Cousin Friends!!

This was my first time white water rafting. It was a lot of fun and not nearly as scary as I thought. We all had fun and just wished it would have lasted a little longer. Evan and I even dared to jump into the refreshingly crisp river after we made it through the rapids. Evan says he had fun, but he sure had a good hold on my leg as we went through the rapids. :)

Bike riding - my favorite thing to do here.
