The Grand Canyon

So we decided to go the the Grand Canyon for memorial day weekend. We have heard it is beautiful and after making the trip and being there we were afraid that we would have to say... we wouldn't know!!!



It was so funny that we had to take picutres to just have proof!

One tour guide said that in his 20 plus years of giving tours that he had never seen it this foggy.


Here is the family at the Grand Canyon



Notice the date, we were there on the 22nd and this was for the 15th. There was maybe 10 feet for the visual range while we were there.




How's the View?

Well we drove almost 8 hours to get there so we went back into the little town outside of the park and saw the Imax movie and got something to eat. We thought that if we waited around that it would get warmer or the wind would blow the fog out. The lady at the National Geographic Center said that the forecast was for thunderstorms that afternoon and that the next day there was a chance of snow!

That totally sucks! You'll have to make the trip again cause it IS pretty awesome. Hannah was almost two when we went and she kept calling it "the BIG hole"

How crazy is that? This is one of those moments that you will probably look back on and laugh, but in the moment your not sure whether to laugh or cry!

Well I'm really glad that the fog did clear off...but Nate's face in that picture in front of the foggy canyon with his arms crossed?!? Hilarious! He looks so peeved! (c: Really cool thing to see, though...
