We have arrived at Grand Teton National Park. Our campground is Coulter Bay and is right on Jackson Lake. The view is amazing. Michael summed it up best by commenting: “How many times do you get it all in one view? Steel mountains, blue lake, forest, and cloudless blue sky?” After a quick RV lunch, the boys were dying to get down and go swimming in the lake. Jackson Lake, that is. I humored them and put on their suits, thinking to myself, it will be way tooooo cold to even put a foot in, but t hey proved me wrong. They both went in. Trenton absolutely loved it. They played for about an hour, before they both came out of the water shivering. The thing they loved best was all the river rock. There was no sand or mud in the lake, just smooth river rock. They collected all shapes and colors. They built walls, they skipped stones, but mostly they just plunked stones into the crystal clear water. Plunk! Plunk! Plunk!

I got to take a nap that afternoon…Thank you Michael! He took the boys on a bike ride up to Coulter Village. They went in all the shops and had a treat.

We grilled fillets for dinner and they were good! I was hungry for veggies, so I opened a can of corn and Trenton and I devoured it!

We trooped back up to the village after dinner to look at the marina and go to the amphitheater for a Ranger encounter. This ranger talk was about photography in the woods, but we just enjoyed all the photos.
