Since we went to Yellowstone in 2009 in a motorhome, Megan has dreamed of having a Birthday party in a motorhome and traveling to Lava Hot Springs. She looked high and low and found the perfect "party wagon." And so for her party she surprised 3 friends with a trip across state lines. We only told the girls they would be sleeping over and might need a swimming suit. The motorhome was hidden at Mammy's so the girls wouldn't suspect anything. It was fun hearing the ideas the girls thought the party was going to be. Well, we got to the motorhome and told them we were going to Lava. My favorite was when one of them said, "I knew we were going to Wyoming! What is Lava, anyway?"
The ride up was all part of the experience.
The "party favors" were matching sweatshirts.
We enjoyed dinner at the campground and cupcakes and s'mores and lots of games. The only thing in short supply ended up being sleep.
Tyler and Emily were happy to be in on the secret plans and get to come along, even if it did entail 4 giggly girls.
They all wanted to sleep together on the top bunk. Maybe that was part of the lack of sleep. All the boys had to sleep in tents. They actually got the better deal.
The next morning we arrived at the pool in Lava. They loved the slides, the diving boards, and the warm water.
I lost count how many times Emily went up and down the slides.
The rock climbing wall as also a hit.
Thanks to all the Moms that kept the secret from their daughters and then actually let them come. Megan had a great party and it was all she dreamed of and more. I hope we don't have to outdo this party next year.
