The Grand Canyon

Can you believe that after living in AZ for years and years I'd never been to the Grand Canyon? When Dad and I were driving out to MO we passed signs for the Grand Canyon and I mentioned never going. Dad asked if I wanted to go and I figured sure why not? So we took a little detour out there and it was awesome. Just awesome.

Of course my dad was almost dying every time the boys got too near the rail but then I was as well. I got the best picture of my dad and a sleeping Wes. This one is definitely going on my wall somewhere. I'll have to send a copy to my dad as well.

We walked around a bit, visited the shops (without buying anything I might add) and got some ice cream. We had this squirrel come right up near the boys sniffing at their ice cream and I had to shoo it away. Wes kept pointing to the Grand Canyon and telling me "Pretty Rocks mom. Look, pretty rocks." It was so cute. Zach literally gasped in delight when we stopped and let him out and he saw it for the first time.

It was well worth the extra car time. The only thing that would have made it better would be seeing it with Cody. I am glad my dad took us though. It was a good memory from the trip
