This summer we spent a lot of time with Dave's family. His parents celebrated their 50
th Wedding anniversary, so everyone gathered in Flagstaff, near Wayne's house, to celebrate. Our first day was spent at the Grand Canyon. Dave, Bryce, Ty and Wayne did a nine mile hike (no pictures). The rest of us went on a shorter, 4 mile hike, with Beth's family.
Beth, Paige and Brett are ready for all those switch backs. Hiking down in the canyon is not bad. It was mostly overcast and not too hot. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
When asked, the kids continually wanted to go further. Brett, who wasn't even sure he wanted to hike, kept right up with Paige and his cousins...on the way down that is.
There were lots of friendly
squirrels. Some mules passed us by. There were lots of friendly people from all over the world.
The thing about the Grand Canyon is as far down as you go...you have to go back up just as far. The hike up was not so fun. It was hot and tiring and steep. No pictures were taken on the way up. We rested
a lot, drank
a lot of water, and with lots of encouragement to Brett, whose shoes were hurting his feet, we made it back to the top. Whew!
