We headed back to Lava a short 7 days after we had been there before, and really non of us minded. We love Lava. When we go with Phil's family it is quite a bit different. We stay at a nice big house outside of town and really spend a lot of time doing activities there. We still get to do the things in town but get a different feel being on the outskirts. The house we stay at has a huge grassy yard with volleyball and fire pits and tons of room for the kids to roam, it really is perfect.
We spent the first day at the pool. Koen and Kade spent most of their time going off the 1st platform. I was at Brigs beck and call watching him do whatever he pleased and Phil was working on his new swim technique.
We really spent the whole day, it was so nice. We only left to get some lunch in town and some icecream and then we just hung out.
The next day we did the Olsen Carnival. We each brought a game for the kids to do and it turned out so fun.
We had a game where you tried to get the Oreo from your forehead to your mouth with out hands. Oddly enough I was a natural. My kids where sure happy because they got first pick of the prizes!
Next we had a little hot potato. Brigs was running seriously low on sleep and was less than thrilled when the potato popped on him. haha
Next a soda pop toss
Then there was balloon darts with activities in the balloons. Lots of pies in Brady's face and dads covered in silly string! Brigs was also not a fan of doing this so I had to give him a little help silly stringing Phil.
A game that I have no clue of the name! haha You can get the idea from the picture.
The kids earned tickets from each activity and at the end they got to turn their tickets in for a ball toss. Every ball the got in the bowl Grandpa got a bucket of water dumped on him!
After everyone washed up the kids decorated sugar cookies! Such a fun carnival!
The boys took most of the kids and ran the river a few times later in the day. And sad for us we once again had to leave early because of work and school. So we left that night after dinner! Thanks Olsen's for a fun trip!
