July 25, 2011 Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming

As predicted, Lindsay was up at 5:30 with the sun. It is time to revive the Just Because The Sun Is Up Doesn't Mean You Have To Be speech.

I went for a short walk this morning to take in the views and get some much needed exercise.  Wow, this place is unbelievably beautiful.  My camera is certainly getting a workout.

We took the ferry across Jenny Lake this morning and hiked to the aptly named Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point.  They were…um…hidden and inspiring.  The kids were awesome and hiked the entire 2 miles. 

After lunch and a few failed attempts at computer connections, we headed north to Colter Bay on Jackson Lake for a brief lakeside hike followed by showers and laundry. 

Karl:  I don’t remember this part of the park.

Lindsay:  That’s because you were sleeping when we came up here yesterday.

Karl:  How long did I sleep?

Lindsay:  Well if you cut a pizza like this and then like this, it was this long.

Karl:  15 minutes?

Lindsay:  Yes.

Lindsay wanted to swim in the glacial water and managed to get in all the way up to her armpits.  Brave, brave girl.
