While in St. George, Mike had the idea to drive a couple of hours to go see the Grand Canyon! It was a pretty drive through the Kaibab Forest, although there must have been a recent fire. So, many burned trees and there was still snow on the ground in places! When we got to the Grand Canyon we took a short hike and then the kids were starving. There is never good food in National Parks and we ended up spending a wad of cash on some soggy deli food. Mental note: Pack in our own lunch!! When we told the kids we were going to do more hikes, our two blondies about passed out. They were already tired, but they came along and most of the time were very pleasant. We had a great time and it was a great way to spend the day! When we got back to St. George, we stopped at Smash Burger because of the good review the Jensen's gave it and it was really good!
Our family at the Grand Canyon. I was hoping for an awesome family picture against this beautiful background, but check out Brandon's face.
Beautiful girl!
Sydney showing Amanda how much she loves her!
Making our own scenic stop. Great views
The girls and I hung together on a short hike and goofed around while Mike & Brandon took the speedy route. When we were through and I noticed B & Mike at the car I told the girls to run because Dad would leave us! Sure enough, as we were booking it back, he started to take off. The kids all thought Dad was so funny!
In the above picture, Sydney is a very loving sister and Amanda doesn't really feel the love anymore!
Goofing off....
Tree huggin'
The girls making their 'sad the forest burned' faces. They were cracking me up!
I love these boys!
Another view of the river. You could see the rapids from this far away! We tried to give the kids perspective and explain to them that the river is a lot bigger when we stand next to it.
Our awesome 5 year old! Love that smile!
Gorgeous!
Sweet kids
A little man that was sitting under a tree waiting for his family, jumped up when he saw us and offered to take our picture!
Angel's Window. See the river in the background?
Brandon was tiring out, so he got a shoulder ride from Dad! Little did we know about the fit Sydney was about to throw! I think we wore them out!
