Turner Family Reunion at Downata Hot Springs/Twin Lakes

Last week we went from Island Park straight to Downata Hot Springs near Preston ID for the Turner Family Reunion. We had a great time seeing lots of family we don't see nearly often enough and swimming swimming swimming. We spent one full day at Twin Lakes and the kids loved playing on the beach.

Amber and Afton soaking up some rays with the kiddos- Tori and I (the preggos) enjoyed most of the day in the shade :)

Weston and Wyatt throwing rocks- Beware!
Laramie helped some of the girl cousins build some fun sand castles. Livvy is quite the construction boss I'll have you know.

Even my Grandparents got into the water fun- my Grandma and Grandpa Beck had also come up to spend some time with us there and Grandpa took a turn on the jet-ski.
Shelby and Wyatt went for a run on the tube behind the jet-ski and yes, they did fall off. I was kinda worried on the beach, but it didn't seem to bother Wyatt at all.
Livvy saved Daddy's shoes for him when the waves carried them away from the beach. Isn't her pink life jacket so dang cute?
Then my Grandma Turner went for a ride on the jet-ski behind Hailey. Go Grandma!
The rest of the time we spent at Downata Hot Springs swimming and enjoying the fun slides. Wyatt LOVED them big and small and really thought he was hot stuff going down them. The first time he went down the large one, he giggled the entire way down. Every time that he would shoot out the bottom he would already be saying "Can we do it again?"

Such a fun family reunion. As I look at the calendar and see that the time for summer is quickly coming to a close, I'm so glad that we got to have these fun little getaways to make some memories with our family. All work and no play make the Scoffields dull you know!

What a fun reunion/trip. Isn't it great that kids will swim for days and not get tired of it? It is strange that the summer is already over. And what's even crazier is that the holidays are just around the corner. What??? Where did '09 go? Who knows. I'm glad you had a fun summer anyway. Your kids are adorable and I can't wait to see what #3 will look like.
