GRAND CANYON

WE LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU ARE STAYING WARM!!!!!!

AND I THINK I HEAR MY HUSBAND CRYING IN THE CORNER HUGGING A SEASHELL.....

AFTER SPENDING MUCH OF THE DAY FREAKING THE KIDS OUT AND HOVERING OVER THE EDGE, WE CALLED IT TO A CLOSE. OUR LAST SIGHT SEEING WAS AT THE WATCHTOWER IN THE SOUTH RIM. WHILE OVER LOOKING THE GORGE, IT STARTED TO SNOW. LOTS! SO AGAIN WE ARE PRESENTLY STAYING IN FLAGSTAFF. THE ROADS ARE CLOSED AND TREACHEROUS.

(BEHIND SAM IS A SHEER DROP OFF! WE ALL TOOK OUR TURNS TO SEE IT! FUN BUT KNEE WEAKENING. MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE HATED THIS!!!)

EVEN THRU THE JOKES, WE MADE IT AROUND THE SOUTH RIM.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FOCUS ON CHANGING SAM'S PRIORITIES, SEE HOW THE PHONE IS SAFELY LAYING ON THE ROCK WHILE DAD SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING OVER THE EDGE!!?? THANKS ALOT SAM!

SOME OF US TOOK IT BETTER THAN OTHERS!!

IF ANY OF YOU KNOW US WELL ENOUGH, YOU KNOW WE HAD TO PLAY A PRACTICAL JOKE ON OUR KIDS! SO WE FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE AND ONE BY ONE I WENT RUNNING UP TO THE TRUCK TO GET ONE OF THE KIDS TO HELP!

THE LANDSCAPE HERE IS TRULY AMAZING. IT WAS CLOUDY SO TO SEE FOR MILES OVER THE CANYON WASN'T POSSIBLE. WE JUST ENJOYED LOOKING OVER THE EDGE AND GETTING THAT PUKEY FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH=)!

TODAY WAS ONCE AGAIN AN EXCITING ADVENTURE! WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN FLAGSTAFF, AZ AND HEADED TO THE GRAND CANYON FOR THE DAY. THE WEATHER, AS MUCH AS THEY SAY IS NICE YEAR ROUND, WAS BOBBLING ABOVE 45 DEGREES! YIKES! WE ONLY HAVE OUR SUMMER CLOTHES WITH US TO WEAR, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE LOOKS WE WERE GETTING WALKING AROUND!
