Jackson Hole & the Tetons

After Yellowstone we spent a couple days visiting the Grand Teton National Park, and exploring Jackson Hole. Here's some pics of our hike around Jenny Lake.
 
 
We read that the hike to Hidden Falls was an easy 3 mile hike along the lake. No big deal, right? But with this crew it took a while. Josh was always carrying at least one girl. I'm very lucky to have him. So many people we crossed paths with made comments on how crazy brave we were to go on this hike with 4 little girls. Or maybe they just thought we were crazy to have 4 girls. There was an elderly couple taking a break, and the wife said to us "Well, if you can do this, I can do this" and she pressed forward. That made me happy. At times the hike was steep, and we were slow, but we made it. We were proud of ourselves and our girls. And we were happy to take the boat ride back to the trailhead :)
 
 
We stayed at the Snake River Lodge in Teton Village, which is at the base of Jackson Hole ski resort. It was pretty quiet in the summertime, and a perfect place to relax.
 

 

 
The girls even tried out the bungee trampolines in Teton Village
 
 
 

We visited the city of Jackson for lunch, did some shopping, rode the stagecoach, and treated ourselves to Moo's Gourmet Ice Cream.
 

It was a wonderful place to visit - we will definitely be back!
