Howard Reuion: Lava Hot Springs

For the annual Wayne and Carolyn Reunion we went to Lava Hot Springs for the weekend. I only took a couple pictures, Mom has the rest on her camera. Everyone, Mom and Wayne, Snarr's and Kevin went down Thursday afternoon. My mom's parents also came to the reunion. Due to my recent health problems this year I have had limited vacation time, so I wasn't able to go down to Lava until Friday night after work. I was totally bummed but it all worked out. Friday everyone just hung out doing different things like golfing for the guys, and mini golfing with the kids. Friday night we played games after I got there and learned some new things about everyone. It was so fun!

Wayne chilling poolside. He was having a lot of back problems and in pain so he was kind of miserable. Poor guy!

Saturday was pool day!! We headed to the pool when it opened and stayed for several hours, enjoying the warm sun and the water slides. We had to get out of the water several times because someone got hurt jumping off the diving boards, then someone had an accident in the pool and they had to shut it down for 30 minutes, so we decided this was a good time to head back to camp. The guys decided to go golfing again and everyone else just relaxed at camp. We had dinner that night with my Uncle Steve and Aunt Susie and celebrated Wayne's 82nd birthday! He's not really 82 but it's a joke I have with him! Sunday we packed up and headed home with another great Howard reunion in the books!

Since I didn't go down til after everyone, I surprised Kevin with a new haircut. I've been growing my hair out since we got married, and I have been feeling like I needed to spice things up, so I cut about 4 inches off my hair, on a whim! It felt great and I love it!!
