Today we took a family trip down to Hagerman, Id, about an hour away. There is a resort there that has an indoor pool fed by a natural hot spring. There was a kiddie pool, slide and diving boards. Best feature- the warm water! It was a fun way to spend an afternoon and I recommend it to anyone n the area, especially with kids.
For some reason Hayden didn't like how loudly the diving board banged when people jumped off. It really was not that loud:
Here he is playing catch with Matt:
Preparing to catch the ball:
Outside of the pool building was a deck area along the snake river. There were a few small waterfalls along the way, so we stopped to enjoy the scenery and take some pictures.
Testing the water temperature- it was chilly!
Hayden wanted to show off his baby sister for the camera.
He found a hole in the deck to look through:
After the hot springs we stopped by near-by Malad Gorge State Park. I had been there with my family this summer but Matt had yet to see it. It was chilly and windy so we stopped just long enough to look and take a couple of pictures and then move on. Hayden is not enthusiastic about pictures with us lately; here is one of Matt trying to convince him to smile and Hayden refusing emphatically:
Once home we had ice cream cones in the back yard. It was almost too chilly for it, but something about an afternoon swimming makes me want ice cream:)
Earlier while at the park I took a quick video of Hayden and Matt doing Hayden's favorite activity- running!
What's the name of the place you went to in Hagarman? Sounds like a great day trip to take the kids :)
