Grand Canyon and Zion National Park

These pictures don't even begin to capture the shock your body experiences when entering the Grand Canyon for the first time. Posters and pictures are beautiful, but they can't capture the grandness of the landforms and the smallness of you.

Saturday morning. The sun was shining so nicely for us, but it was still cool out.

You can't really see him in this picture (blame it on the photographer, me), but the boys are crouching looking at this funny squirrel who had been tucked into the crawl space of the ledge, and then surprised us by coming out to stare at us. He stayed for a long time before darting across the path. He was obviously not intimidated by the usual foot traffic.

Stopped for a little ice cream near the South Rim. Benny has gotten REALLY good now at eating an ice cream and getting all of it into his tummy, as opposed to all over his hands and shirt:)


We finally were able to find the Colorado River.

Oh my, it's hard to even begin a blog that describes the unbelievable last three weeks of our lives. Not much time tonight, but I'm wanting to at least post a couple of pictures from our trip home. All the other pics we took are on our other computer, so will have to post them later (it's the really, really slow computer, so don't hold your breath!).
