Tetons

Here are some pictures of the Tetons.
We left Yellowstone and traveled down through the Teton. We camped there for a couple nights at Colter Bay and did some sightseeing.


View from the visitor center at Colter Bay.


All the visitor centers in Yellowstone and the Tetons had tables with different antlers for kids to check out. My big kid liked this moose antler. Of course, it seems as though he doesn't know where on their head it goes.


It was really cold at night in the Tetons. I am so grateful for warm quilts and sleeping bags! We're eating breakfast here before we take off for some sightseeing.



Colter Bay has lots of rocks in it water. People were out boating and stuff, but out kids played in the water and built rock walls.


Nate.


Pretty rocks.


Gabby.


Sam.


This show the rock wall the kids were making.

This is a functioning church. It had some really pretty stained glass inside.

This black tailed deer was near out campsite.


The Tetons are pictured behind everyone.


In Yellowstone you had to be a kid to work on your Junior Ranger patch. In the Tetons anyone can earn a patch. Seth, Nathan, Gabby and Sam all earned their Junior Ranger patches and were sworn in at the Colter Bay visitor center.

My kind of vacation - Relaxing!

We met this really nice family from Oregon a couple campsites down from us. Our kids played together at the campground and we sat down by the showers one night chatting. I'll look for the paper with their name on it to post it later. It was fun talking with them!


On our way home we stopped in Idaho Falls and took a picture of the temple there. It was so beautiful that day.

Nice pictures. Not sure I would be brave enough to stay in a tent for that long with that many boys. But I guess you said you were used to smells. Thanks for sharing.
