William, Aliciya and I took a great trip up Alamedin Gorge to play in the snow and the hot water of the Teplye Kluchi Hot Springs.<\/p>\n

We started out playing in the snow.<\/p>\n

Aliciya had a blast playing in all kinds of ways<\/p><\/div>\n

Aliciya and William are like their dad: They love the water.<\/p><\/div>\n

After we finished swimming, I caught this shot of the foothills in the late afternoon light as we came back down.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
