GTNP--day 2 (Gratuitous nature photos!)

We woke up nice and early on a cold Tuesday morning and made tin foil breakfasts on the hot coals. Everything you do when camping takes so much longer so finally we got breakfast eaten and cleaned up and everyone bathed (with baby wipes) and ready to go.
We started off the day with a visit to the "town" of Moose and we went to a fun nature museum that taught us more about the park and inspired me to take up mountain climbing.

We went on a nature trail near the museum that gave us some great photo ops. A rainbow of children.

We then went on a short hike to a lake and let the kids wade in the cold water...
Check out this view!
And this one!
The trail took us on to a beautiful river that I climbed into to get a picture of the family.
And then Ryan took one of us.
That night after dinner we loaded up and took a drive hoping to spot wildlife and saw a few things in the road...
We saw a beautiful view of a mountain that I don't remember the name of...
And hurried and snapped a quick picture of the kids in front of it while we got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
