Grand Canyon

Today we got up early.  Got ready and hauled ALL of our accumulated crap to the new car.  It fit ... barely....

The fam at the Grand!

We got on the road and went to the Grand Canyon!  I have never seen the Canyon and have always wanted to.  It was beautiful! Glorious! and full of Barf. Well, the Vader kind anyways.  Squirrels were everywhere.

Barf Vader family member!

Lizards too.

Do you see two?

 I even saw an elk first thing and  I am blaming my lack of sign on that.  I was so taken with the Elk I didn't even see the Grand Canyon Sign so no picture.  I know you are all just devastated but put on your big girl/boy pants and do go on.

Mom and I with the canyon at our backs!

We only stayed for two hours and went to two of the stops.  I really wanted to go to Hermit's Rest but didn't really want to take a  70 minute ride there and a 70 minute ride back so we stayed local.  We did walk to a look out and a geologic museum.  It was all very beautiful and amazingly enough not really hot.   This is how the sunburn begins.  We have spray lotion in our car.  We have face lotion in our car.  Do I think to put either of these sunblocks on?  Nope!  In too big of a hurry to see what I can see.  Guess who has a sunburn.  Go ahead, guess.  Bet you'll get it right!  Strangely enough, I got a sunburn while wearing this same top on the first half of our vacation.  Anyways not much else to say about the Grand Canyon.  Oh yeah except mom found, bought and is reading a totally morbid book on deaths in the Grand Canyon.  I get to hear all the gasps and then the stories.  Some are really tragic and sad but some are downright stupid!

The Grand Canyon even makes dead stuff look beautiful!
