So for the 4th of July this year we headed to Lava Hot Springs to swim and tube the river as we traditionally do. This year was extra fun because the Hall's (Dave's sisters family) joined us. We swam in the big pool the first day. Dave, Nick, and Brittany all went off the highest platform, Dave even did a gainer. Scary. I don't dare do stuff like that. We camped out that night and had lots of fun talking and playing. The next day we tubed down the river which is always a family favorite. There were so many people there this year, it was out of control, but fun. Even my niece Bailey (6) and nephew Owen (2) went down the river. They were little troopers. Of course it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Unfortunately for Brittany, she's the one that got hurt. There's a dangerous spot in the river that you usually fall off at unless you're holding on to someone's tube. We were all holding on to each other, but somehow Britt tipped over backwards and hit her head really hard. We all jumped out of the river ASAP and Dave went for help. We ended up not being able to find any medical personnel so we had to call 911. They ended up taking her to the hospital 25 minutes away via ambulance. 3 staples and lots of morphine later, she was ready to go home.

Poor little Britoli. I am glad that you guys had fun though. And you did what I am so scared to do. FORGET MY LUGGAGE. I always dream that the night before we leave to Lake Powell-what if I forgot my luggage. No swimsuit what would I do? Wear husbands get up. You are such a trooper too Jones. Hope are girls vaca to St. George works out. It would totally rock.
