We got up early to watch the sunrise, then took a rafting "float" trip down the Snake River:
 |
| Mormon's Row, just before sunrise |
 |
| Getting brighter (and starting to rain) |
 |
| Can you see the rain? |
 |
| The sun is coming up and the clouds are rolling in |
On the drive out, we ran into this guy:
We stopped at the river, in hopes of catching a moose....and found a moose. It was a mama moose with twin babies. Super cool, but we were still hoping for antlers:
 |
| We were this far away (the zoom makes us look close, but we kept our distance) |
 |
| Mama Moose and her babes |
We got back to the hotel with a little time to rest and then head to the river:
 |
| On the bus -- these boys are sooo sweet together |
 |
| Ready to raft |
 |
| The New York side of the raft |
 |
| And the Virginia side (plus Patrick, who would not be separated from Benji) |
Views from the raft:

| Bald Eagle |
After floating and lunch, we headed back to the park with the hopes of getting that Jenny Lake hike in....and then it started storming again. We waited out the rain and then settled on hiking the near side of the lake trail (no ferry for us!) and (mostly) playing in the water:

| From the Jenny Lake trail |
 |
| A tree fell in our path (probably during the storm we waited out). Some other hikers turned back, but we made our way over it |
 |
| fawns |
 |
| Back over the tree on the way back. The boys were fascinated by it |
While the cousins headed back to town for dinner, we headed up Signal Mountain for a picnic:
 |
| From the top of Signal Mountain |
 |
| Ran into these friends on the way back down the mountain |
 |
| They got super close to the car (this is not zoomed) |
 |
| There was more rain as we came down the mountain, but then a rainbow! |
On the way out of the park, we stopped at Moose Junction...and saw a moose! This one had antlers:
 |
| We were further away - even this is a partial zoom |
