The Grand Canyon

A couple of weeks ago Dave sold a roller to one of his customers down in Arizona. They needed it for a job they were doing out in Monument Valley (up towards the Utah border) so Dave asked if we wanted to go with him and on the way back we'd stop and go through the Grand Canyon since I'd never seen it. It was going to be a quick trip since he was only getting one day off from work to deliver it but the girls were all about getting out of the house and doing anything so we went. We left after church, around 3 and the girls each slept in the car and watched movies. They were so good. We drove over the Hoover Dam and what an impressive sight that was to see them building and working on the bypass over the Colorado River. That will be so nice once it's completed.

We stayed in the hotel until he was done delivering the tractor and then we headed for home the next morning. We decided to do the South Rim since it was still a few hours from home, but we still spent a few hours driving around in the park doing the whole tourist thing and the girls had a blast running around, looking at everything. The highlight was that all the mountains were covered in snow. Kelsey loves snow. We finished the trip by having lunch at a little pizza joint and then the girls slept and watched more movies till we got home. We got home around 8 and everyone was in bed at 9:00. We were all wasted from a whirlwind trip, but definitely worth it. Maybe we'll go again when it gets a little warmer.

Headed down to the tower. They saw this bench and they were just too cute with their arms around each other. They truly are best friends.

They tried to get as close to the edge as possible.

On top of the tower. I loved it that eveyone was so friendly to take pictures for us so we could actually all be in a picture together.
Kelsey working on her picture taking skills and doing great - no heads are chopped off and we're pretty closely centered. Success!!

What a great day!!
