Our fourth day in Yellowstone wasn't actually spent in Yellowstone and was a bit more relaxed. We spent most of our day chatting in the truck on our way to and from the Grand Teton National Park just South of Yellowstone.
The Tetons are Auntie's favorite place to camp and from the little bit of the park we did see I can tell why. The views are gorgeous.
Bug and I spent our day exploring the Colter Bay area. We hiked the easy 2 mile Lakeshore Trail. The water was beautifully clear and cool. Bug couldn't help but wad in several times.
Until he realized there were leaches in the water that is. We knew it was going to be a good day when Bug discovered a smiley face consisting of two snails and a leach.
Bug sampled the water temperature every chance he got but was not satisfied to stop and swim.
So we continued down the trail.
finally we found a beach area with other families swimming. As the boats passed a cool mist would spray up from this log. Bug entertained himself trying to predict when the splashes would occur.
After watching several children surf the waves on downed Lodge Pole Pine trunks Bug decided to give it a go himself.
It took him a little while to paddle out against the waves.
He did very well balancing himself against the waves.
I think he has the hang of it now.
The view was so relaxing, the water cool, and the sun warm.
I took the opportunity to sit back and catch up on a little reading.
That evening we made it back to Yellowstone in time to watch another Ranger program. This one was called Boy Cub and was about man's interaction with bears. It was a very pleasant & relaxing day. We both slept well that night.
