Last hike

On Monday, Labor Day, we were scheduled to go home. None of us wanted to.  It's so beautiful there and we were having a great time!

 So, we got up and packed quickly and headed into the park again for one last hike.

 This one is an easy one.  I can't remember the name right now, but I will eventually....

 Here is the lake!  Gorgeous!

 Sydney again hiking in flip flops. She wasn't too happy this morning.  But she was a trooper!

 The kids had a great time trying to skip rocks....

 Look how clear that water is!

 Skeeters....

Sydney tried to catch tadpoles in her water bottle, but didn't have any success.  Smart little guys!

 Mike found some rocks out in the water to climb. It wasn't long before the rest of us joined him.  The best part of this hike was that it was not crowded at all!  We saw maybe 3 groups the whole morning.  The hikes the day before were wall to wall people!  We took our time and enjoyed each other's company.

 One of the kids took this one.  Look how blue that sky was!  After this hike, we headed home through Star Valley.  We took a slight detour to see Echo Res. one more time. It's just a giant mud puddle.  We had to board Max at the dog groomer place, but couldn't pick him up until the next morning since it was  a holiday....and the kids started school the next day too!  It made me want to pack up and go back to Jackson!  Thanks Grandma & Papa for the great relaxing weekend!
