A "Date" Hike

On Justin's Day off we decided to go do something fun. Grandma watched Jackson and we headed off for a little "date" hike to Phelps lake. It was a lot of fun being out together and again enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Grand Teton National Park. It was about a 6 mile hike. The first mile you hike up to the Phelps Lake overview. It was so pretty looking down at that lake. Then we made the descend down to the bottom of the lake. We got there and sat down to eat lunch... that didn't last long because the mosquitoes were horrendous! We also saw some thunder clouds come in, so we decided to make our way back.We saw some AMAZING scenery. It was so gorgeous.Then by the time that we got back to our car we were SOAKED! Those thunder clouds we saw sure enough decided to dump some rain and hail on us. :)We also enjoyed some wildlife. We ended up seeing 3 deer, 2 ground squirls, 2 rock chucks, and 4 moose!! Here is a picture of a huge moose jam we got in on our way home. We literally couldn't move because people don't know how to pull over!! And as you can see people are crazy getting so close to the wildlife. This little Moose was starting to grow his "spoons."Anyway, it was totally fun and we hope to get out more this last month that we are here and go on some more hikes!
