Catching Up...

These last couple weeks have been super busy and non-stop. But fun-filled at the same time. We had our Hoch family reunion, which never had a dull moment, and we moved into a new place (pictures in a later post).

So first of all, we went up to Idaho to have our Hoch reunion. Tyler's parents live in Washington, which makes hard for them to come down for reunions every year. This year they were able to come down! They came down a little earlier and we spent a couple days at Lava Hot Springs, before going to the actual reunion. (p.s. I could NEVER live in Lava, way to super small!) It was super fun, right when we first got there we got roping lessons from TJ and Jordan. TJ ended up roping Tiffany (not on purpose) while she was racing Tyler, and she got a wicked battle scar.
Our first activity at Lava was going tubing down the river. Amber and I were the only ones after 3 runs down the river that didn't end up getting all scratched up. Tyler and I were in a double tube, and for our first run decided to go down the two biggest waterfalls in the river, on the second one you are supposed to (key words) make you way over to the left side of the river and go down the waterfall. We, being the get navigators that we are, went down the right side and totally got thrown off our tube, but neither of us got hurt.
Then we went and relaxed at the Hot Springs. They are super awesome! After everyone getting cut and scratched up and the next day been totally fine, we have renamed the place, Healing Waters.

Our last day there we played back and forth between the Hot Spring and the Water Park in Lava. Our greatest moment was getting Debbie (Tyler's mom) to go down the "green slide," which by far was the fastest one there, and having her think is was calm and slow. Her screams  all the way down and her face when she came out was priceless!

The hottest pool there. 113 degrees!

You can't really tell, but Glenn is
actually dancing while Kyle is drumming.

(ps. worst idea ever buying Kyle a drum!)

This is me schooling everyone in Golf.

Can you find the green slide? Tiffany, Jordan, and Kyle went off the tallest diving platform (30 meters above the water) Tyler, TJ and I only made it to the second one.

Off to our Family reunion, we met at a RV parking place in Rupert, ID took pictures had a little program and went off to Steadman Farms, little did we know what was coming. There was a zip line at the farm and some people decided to go down it. Glenn (Tyler's dad) decided to stay down and stop the smaller kids as they went down since the zip line goes pretty fast, Tiffany and already fallen trying to stop herself. While he was helping someone stop, his finger got caught in the zip line, sut it wide open and by the end of the night he had 8 stiches on his finger. Other than that, the water slides were super fun. It was so funny to see the younger cousins go down. Hands down, by far my favorite was little 3 year old Addie going down laughing the whole way.
