Grand Canyon!


 

This weekend our little family took a trip down to explore the Grand Canyon for the first time.. and it was AMAZING!!! We had a very fun time and look forward to when we can return again.  Unfortunately, the hundreds of pics that I took and video don't do it justice. It simply takes your breath away, something that I wish every person could see for themselves.  The weather turned out to be overcast and very chilly, about 34-38deg and some scattered snow on the ground.  ( just a reminder- if you click on the picture it makes it bigger.. a little easier to see)
 



this was by far the fattest squirrel i have ever seen.. all plumped up for the winter!


claire and daddy

so beautiful


The Watchtower- built in 1932 at the Desert View point

inside roof- watchtower



there was a shuttle bus you could ride along parts of the south rim- it took us to view points that cars can't.


The Colorado River

we saw tons of elk- so graceful


decided to walk right in front of us- gave us a good pic!!
On the way home we decided to take a short detour and drive on a portion of the old Historic Route 66. Travis nor I have drove on it so it was neat. Not a whole lot to see on the route we took but none the less still cool to say we drove on it.


like driving in Montana- nothing out in front of you
she was so tired- but such a good girl during our trip!!!
