Lava Hot Springs

Last Monday I went to Lava Hot Springs with my girl scout troop. Lava Hot Springs is in Idaho and it was the first time my troop went out of state for camp. We went to a campsite on Monday. And then that night it was terrible! I got an hour of sleep that night. The raindrops were huge and it was raining really hard on our tents and the thunder was really big and the lightning was really close! The next day we had eggs and muffins for breakfast and left for Lava Hot Springs at 11:00. When we got there I looked at the slides and platforms and there were three platforms. The third platform is really high and everyone in the pool looked whenever someone was going to jump off the third platform. The worst thing about the trip was that I got a sunburn. Tuesday night was a lot better than Monday night. It didn't storm and I didn't wake up until morning. On Monday I kept taking several little naps during the night. On the last day, which was Wednesday, we had pancakes. We packed up our sleeping bags and packed our clothes and took down our tents. On the way back home the five girls in my car including me played a card game called I doubt it. And then the leader that was driving us home got us pizza, water, and frosties from Wendy's! We were really late to get home. It was a really fun trip!

Wow!! How fun to get to go to girl scouts. I didn't know girl scouts get to go to a camp. I don't think I would enjoy sleeping in a tent with all of that storm rumbling around me... I'm glad it stopped the next day :-)

Sounds like a fun time. I always heard of Lava Hot Springs but never went. I don't think I would have gone from the top platform though.

Great pictures. What a fun camp! I like Lava Hot Springs, but I haven't been to that pool. I just sit in the hot water at the old folks place up the street.

Sounds like a very fun trip! (except for the sunburn!) The slides and diving platforms look hard-core! I would be too chicken to jump off from the third one. Did you say you jumped off from the third platform?!
