Grand Canyon










As part of our new healthy lifestyle, which is going great by the way, James & I decided to have an adventure last Saturday instead of just staying around the house. We drove the hour south to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! The weather was perfect, only about 65 degrees and sunny. I strapped Steven in his snugglie on my chest and James strapped David into his backpack and away we went. We went on 2 short hikes and drove around to various viewpoints. What a beautiful scene! The only sad thing was to see all the damage recent fires have caused around the canyon. They have the fires contained, so they let you drive right by. However, we saw a handful of spots that were still burning. We could see the flames. Anyway, here are just a few pictures of our wonderful day in nature. :)

cool trip! We'll have to do Grand Canyon next time since we've done the Zions/Bryce canyons and Lake Powell already. Loved the pictures!
