We decided on our way home from Page, we would take a little detour and visit the Grand Canyon. Aubree was the only one of the kids who had ever been there and she was 2, so didn't remember anything. We picked a bad day to go because the cloud cover was so thick, you couldn't see anything. It was drizzly and a little chilly. We weren't prepared for that kind of weather, so we were a little cold. And being on the edge of a huge, deep chasm with little children (one of which is extremely headstrong and doesn't like being told what to do) was a little nerve-racking for me.
But we tried to make the best of it by laughing at eachother and having fun. This lady in the background asked if she could touch Canon's cheeks and take a picture with him. It was a very random request and she giggled the whole time. This was another area where we heard a lot of different languages.
Scott is making the best of it... silly man! Atleast he made us laugh. :)
This was the view no matter where on the canyon you went. There was just nothing to see because the clouds and f0g were soooo thick. It was disappointing for us, but I can't imagine traveling half way around the world to see a wonder and not being able to see it and not be able to plan a trip back next year.
Here we are getting rained on. I think we'll come back in a few years when everyone is older and the clouds aren't so thick!
I felt the same way when we went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago. It was beautiful, but I was terrified I was going to loose one of my kids off the side!
ReplyDeleteToday we met a couple from Australia, and she said, "I was just at the Grand Canyon yesterday. It was very hot there as well." Also, I would like to take a picture of canon's cheeks as well. They are the cutest thing about him. Love, THE MISSIONARIES
