Grand Canyon

We decided to go to the Grand Canyon before summer break. We had Daniella's cousin, Trentten, along for the trip and we all had a wonderful time.

Daniella loves to take pictures with our camera. She is getting better at her self portraits.

Our first stop was at a park at the base of Mars Hill. It was the best little park for our three little travelers to get some wiggles out.

Kendell has turned into quite the gymnast. He never lets a bar go by with out hanging and swinging for a little while.

He can really get some air all by himself.

We visited the Lowell Observatory atop Mars Hill. It was a fun time. This is the place that Pluto was first discovered. It was not quite dark so we only got to see the moon.

We made it to the Grand Canyon at last. It was a very windy and cold day.

Here is a good picture of our family. It won't be long and we will have another little one to tag along.

Daniella and Trentten loved their time together. They played long and hard together. They really wore each other out. Where are those kids' parents. Probably off hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

This was our last chance to hang out with Seth. He leaves for Argentina at the beginning of June.

At one of the lodges there were some relaxing chairs to sit on out on the deck.

Grandpa showed the grandkids how to swing really high.

We had a really good time and hope that we can take this trip again when the kids are a little bit older to appreciate the beauty of the Grand Canyon. Maybe we will hike to the bottom when hey are all grown and want nothing more than to hang out with their parents on a long weekend.
