Lava Cave!

July 14, 2015

Aunt Helen put a request in for mom to bring her ice cream maker and make homemade ice cream.  I am sure if Aunt Helen didn't put in a request Uncle Jeff would have!  Mom had lots of good help making the ice cream.  Here we are putting the ice in the maker!

Sydney and I laid down on Aunt Sarah!  I hope we didn't squish her.  

One of the things I was most excited about at Sunriver was I got to bring my new big frozen bike.  I worked hard getting ready for Sunriver, so, I would be able to ride on the paths.  This morning, we wanted to ride, so, we got on our bikes and rode around and around in front of the house!

I got to bring my balance bike and rode around in front of the house too.  For every one trip around the loop I made, McKenzie would ride about 7!  It was fun to get to ride my bike!

Granpy, Sydney, and I had a great time riding together!

We headed to the Lava Cave to go and explore the cave!  I am all ready with my dinosaur sweatshirt, Sydney's long pants, and my lantern.  It is cold and dark in there!

Sydney, Wyatt, and I are ready for an adventure.  

As we went through the cave, we each had to have an adult to hold onto.  I choose Grammy!  We had a fun time together!

I chose mom or mom chose me.  I was happy to get packed through the lava tunnel and mom was happy to keep me close and not lose me in the dark tunnel.  I was very very quiet as we walked through the tunnel, so, mom was not sure what I really thought of it, but I said I had fun!

A picture of a group of us along the way.  

It was sure cold in the tunnel and I told mom, "next time we should bring my gloves."  Mom thought it was a good idea!

When we found our way out of the lava tunnel we found a picnic table for lunch and to warm up!

Granpy and I had a great time eating together!

I got a Cheeto and I am pretty thrilled about it!  It was sure a fun adventure we had this morning!

That afternoon, we took naps while the rest of my cousins went to the pool.  When we woke up we played a little "spot it" with Grammy

I had to put this in because Makayla's facial expression is priceless!

Mommy told us that for a special activity, since we took naps, when dad got to the house after work we would all go out on a family bike ride.  I really wanted to try the tagalong that they had at the house, so, daddy and I went on a ride together.  Mom pulled Makayla in the bike stroller and we had a great family ride!

Mom wanted to get a picture of Dad and I on the bike when we got back to the house, so, we took a lap around.  

Well, we ended up taking a couple of laps around, so, mom could get her pictures!  I was more than happy to get a couple of extra laps in!

It was sure a fun way to spend the evening. 

When we got back it was time to enjoy our homemade ice cream!

I think Daddy wanted to try a bite of our ice cream, but we sure weren't going to share!

I love ice cream!
