So Friday August Fifth we left to go see Shelby. She is working at Battle Creek in Idaho. On our way up we stopped off at Lava Hot Springs. We wanted to float the river. I had seen some videos online of people floating it and didn't think it would be that bad. Oh but I was wrong. My mom and I floated it in a two man tub. (not a good idea.) Every little rapid (all two) that we came to we got thrown off the tub. The water has lava rock in it and the water wasn't very deep. So my mom and I got pretty scraped up. The second time we got thrown off She went to one side of the river and I went to the other. So I am standing by this 20 to 25 ft. cement wall, trying to keep from floating down the river since there were more rapids coming and I didn't want anymore scraps. I have one shoe in my hand. My dad is standing above me and my mom has walked over there now. My dad tried to pull me out but he couldn't get me out. He tried getting me on tub with another family to float with them until I can get out of the water. Yeah didn't make it on that tube. So once my brother finished floating He came and pulled me out over the wall. I have scraps on my ankle, my knees, and my arms. They floated it again, but my mom and I didn't. (Sorry don't have pictures of Lava Hot Springs)
Me, Mom, Shelby & Abby

This is Us at Badger Creek visiting Shelby. While there my family did a giant swing, climbed a rock wall and did a zip line. I didn't because I am not a huge fan of heights.
This is the cabin we stayed at while at Badger Creek.
