Too Cold For You??

Yesterday we went with some friends out to the Chena Hot Springs. They have a great indoor pool and some hot tubs. They are warmed by the natural hot springs in the area. But the best part is the hot springs outside.If you can brave the walk (about 20 feet), you can get into some HOT water and enjoy the night air. Last night's fresh air was about -15 to -20 degrees.


The water was so warm that you needed to stand up to "air condition" yourself with the cold air.
The boys got brave enough to sit up on the snow covered rocks in just their swimsuits.

Curtis with his frosted hair. I love it!
The boys loved the hot springs and want to go back soon.I could have stayed in there all day(or night, it is hard to tell the difference since it is so dark here again all the time!)

That is so amazing and beautiful! We have had 14 inches of snow here in Iowa, but NOTHING compared to you!!! :D

It's not the walk THERE I'm worried about, it's getting out of the nice hot water with the -35 degree weather and dashing back indoors. lol!!

Last year at Christmas Duncan and I went to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho; a similar kind of thing, but without the negative temps!!!
