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:
