Fairmont Hot Springs

After Grandma's memorial service we split the drive into 2 days and spent a day at Fairmont Hot Springs just outside of Butte, MT.  I love the place.  It is in the middle of nowhere and so much fun.  There are pools inside and outside year round.  The kids were scared to death to go out in the cold in the swim suits the first time so we had to carry them and throw them in the water.  But once they got used to the concept they loved it.  The water is super hot and your hair freezes.

 

The kids had a blast showing how tough they were by running into the snow and doing snow angels, making snow balls, rolling around, etc.  It was hilarious.  Of course since there were so many of us and we were creating such a scene lots of other people joined in on the fun.

 

We couldn't be out done by the boys so we did a not quite as cute pose.

When Steve was jumping back in the pool after the pyramid he tried jumping over the kids in the shallow end and managed to hit the bottom.  I'm sorry but it was very funny.  He got super glued up and was good to go.  Leave it to Steve to do something crazy.

Here we are in the indoor pool. 

The first time I went to the hot springs was with Grandma Giboney and it was so much fun.  I love taking my kids here for a fun time.  Todd had to fly from Spokane to DC so he wasn't with us but sometime we'll go back there with him because he would love it there!
