The Grand Canyon

After living in Arizona eight months, we finally made it to the Grand Canyon. It was my parents' 45th Anniversary on March 31st so we brought them in to visit and took them to the Grand Canyon. Neither one of them had ever seen it. We had a wonderful time. What an awesome place!!! It's very easy to see the hand of God there and marvel at his creation.
Before entering the park, we saw an IMAX film on the history/exploration of the canyon. I learned things I never knew before. We all got a chuckle thinking of how the first explorers must have felt when they emerged from the forest and came upon that massive canyon and then had to figure out how to get across or around it! As my daughter Chelsea might say, "Oh Snap!"
: )
I thought I'd share a few photos with you of our wonderful weekend together. We got to see some remnants of the snow and enjoyed some breathtaking scenery. It was so nice having our family with us and a great way to celebrate such a special occasion! Congratulations, Mom and Dad! Forty-five years together is something to be proud of.
If you've visited the Grand Canyon, I'd love to hear about your experience and impressions of this beautiful place.

    The Grand Canyon is awesome. Even though we have been a couple times now it still surprises me. We thought the same thing about the explorers coming across it. I'm glad you had a good weekend with your parents.

    It amazes me that people all of the world come just to see the Grand Canyon each and every day and people in AZ, who live here for years never make it there...until they move away from here! Crazy!

    It's awesome...beautiful...I'd love to spend a month there and just walk all over it!

    Shawn...Dude, buddy, bro, Compadre, Comrade...GO TO THE GRAND CANYON! This weekend...whatever plans you had, change them! You're going to the GC!

    josh: i mentioned to davina your last comment on here - she laughed. she's been to the canyon once, but she said it was a long time ago and she's a native here.

    i definitely will have to make the drive up there at some point in the near future.
