Today was one of those really great vacation days.
Gerry got up early and biked 8.5 miles to have breakfast at Dornan’s in Moose. Check his facebook page to see the view from the outdoor patio. At 8 or so, I loaded up the kids and picked him up, bike and all. When we got back to camp, I loaded Billy on my bike and went for an 8 mile ride myself while Gerry did day-trip preparations at the camp. Wow, what a view.

We picnicked and hiked at String Lake in the afternoon. One of the great things about Grand Tetons with the kids is that the lake hikes are fairly level and very scenic.

Afterwards, we drove up to Colter Bay to swim in Jackson Lake and shower/laundry. On the way, we joined a large mob to gawk at 2 moose eating willow at a pond. I never got a good camera photo, but I have a great mental picture.

| Note the lack of other swimmers |
After dinner, we drove back to the Willow Flats Overlook to see if we could glimpse more moose, but instead were chased back into the car by ~2.5 million mosquitos. All the way back to camp you could hear random slaps and claps from the backseat.
