Enjoying indian summer

We had a nice couple of days for weather. We spent the days kayaking over in the park.




First day we floated below Jackson lake. Saw 2 moose that I'm sure were a mom and baby earlier this year. We had to go right by them in the river but they just kept on eating and ignored us.







Second day we put in on String lake took the portage of about 100yds (which about killed us dragging the kids and 2 kayaks) to leigh lake and back. We had to put Coleman in one of the kayaks as we carried them from lake to lake. So no picture since our hands were full. My shoulder and sides hurt from the kayak resting against me while I was carrying it.


Leigh lake wraps around so we were directly below the south side of mt Moran. The scenery being below the big mountain was worth it though.



Liston and Coleman each took turns falling asleep while Mare was paddling them.



We found a pet grouse in one of the parking lots. We saw him first over by a car while we were unloading. So hte kids walked over and were watching it. Next thing he came right over to the car. After the kids scared him away we forgot about him. I was with the kids down by the lake eating some lunch waiting for Mare to come back when the next thing I know the grouse came right up to where we were eating. He was inches from Coleman. I wasn't going to take his picture but he kept getting so close pretty sure he wanted us to give him something.
