Kanab - Tuesday

The Grand Canyon was our destination for the day. It took us about one hour to get there and it was a beautiful drive most of the time (don't mean to offend anyone from Fredonia...). We arrived right about lunchtime so our first priority was feeding our hungry crew. What better place than the historic Grand Canyon Lodge? Here are all the kids but the two babies.
After lunch we hiked 1.5 miles out to an overlook. How to describe the Grand Canyon? Huge? Incredible? Spectacular? Breathtaking? All of the above and more.

There they go again...



After this excursion it was back to the Red Mountain home for a BBQ and more swimming. The pool water was a little chilly for my taste (and the weather was pretty mild) but that didn't stop the kids! Or the husbands who once were the last ones in the pool playing "HORSE."

I haven't been to the Grand Canyon in a very long time. I better rectify the situation.
