As promised, we took Poppy and CC to the hot springs to swim. The girls talked about this way before Poppy and CC ever arrived. We packed a lunch, loaded up and headed out. The weather was warmer than before but still a bit chilly.
Sophia loves to hold Tobin and help take care of him. She was excited because we were going to put him in the water.
Poppy and CC brought this new swimsuit for Sophia, she loved it, especially the twirly skirt.
On the drive we came across some donkeys..
As it turned out the water was not warm, or really not warm enough. We asked if they could do something to warm it up. Nope.
The girls did not care and David braved it so the girls could swim. Everyone else opted out.
The pool is above this rock wall
The hot water comes out of that pipe, so they would go hover for awhile to warm up.
The view from the pool. Yes, they do use ALL the land, even on the steepest of slopes.
The big pool.
giving some swimming tips. Sophia is almost ready to go it alone. We predict that this summer she will take off in swimming!
No we did not put Tobin in after all. He would have gotten too cold.
She was pretending to be a mermaid.
One of my favorite pics.
Bella had her own little tea party.
Because David took one for the team and endured the not-so-hot water we paid a little extra and let them all dip in this individual bath which was hot and comforting.
Then we picnicked in the sun.
More views from the ride.
Buddhist temples in every village.
The new highway. Incredible.
Another area of REALLY NICE new homes.
