Camping in Idaho

My friend Lindsey Hibbert and I took the kids for a few days last week to camp in Western Idaho. We stayed at Pine Flats campground near the Payette river. This area is known for whitewater rafting and hot springs. It was Rocket's first camp out, and he was a champ. He cuddled down at the bottom of my sleeping bag every night and helped keep my feet warm. During the day we enjoyed hiking down to the hot springs and enjoying their natural warmth mixed with the river water. What a beautiful world with so much to see! I am so grateful for my kids adventurous spirit and that we were able to take a little trip together and see something new. My favorite hot spring was called Kirkham Hot Springs. There were so many different waterfalls of hot water running down the rock face there. Various pools along the river had different temperatures so you could choose your preferred temperature. Sydney and I jumped off the ledge into the river and then swam over to the "hot shower" waterfall you see in one of the pics below, and it felt so good!
