Chico Hot Springs!

On Saturday we took a trip up to Chico Hot Springs just outside of livingston in paradise valley. Chico has a lodge, a bar (of course), a fantastic restaurant and the mineral pools. There is a hot smaller pool and a warm large pool - each day the water is drained and filled in fresh.

We had so much fun ...

Elsie got two new suits that we wanted to try out, here is her chocolate:

We had a great dinner, took an evening stroll and headed to bed. The next morning we had a pre-breakfast soak

here is elsie's pink suit, with a hibiscus flower (you can see her swim diaper through the suit - it actually works) ...

Love your haircut Mandy--shorter, a little more pixie-ish? Looks like a lovely holiday.
