Our second national park stop, was Grand Teton in Wyoming. What an amazing place! We stayed at the Coulter Bay campground, which was just across the road from a beach on Jackson lake. Within 5 minutes of parking, we were at the beach exploring, skipping rocks, and scouting swimming potential. There was a storm rolling in, and it looked supernatural across the lake.
We wish we would have had a bit more time there, but some highlights included:
1) hike around Jenny Lake.. though the kids convinced us to take the boat back
2) lunch at the Jackson lake lodge… if you are not campers you should check out this lodge… amazing
3) hanging out at Lake Jackson, skipping rocks and trying to knock rocks off a larger one
We also went to Jackson Hole for an evening had had amazing pizza at Caldera’s pizza.
Awesome site at Coulter Bay campground.
Beach across the road from our campsite. This was right after we arrived at the end of the day.

Another one closer to the shore.
Dad got in trouble for this one. It’s hard to tell, but Kane climbed out onto a fairly narrow outcropping here.
The destination of the Jenny lake hike… hidden falls
Coming back from a detour to photograph the river.
Kids chipped in to pay for the boat ride back. We really needed to get back to camp to start dinner!
Kat setting up a round of “knock your rocks off”. Kind of started as an accuracy contest for throwing rocks, and as they got bigger, turned into rock bowling.
This little guy was curious what we were doing on the trail… or hoping for a zagnut
Nice sunset coming back from Jackson Hole.
I hope you appreciate this one… I got swarmed by mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds to get it.
