Grand Canyon

Well the girls visit with their grandparents ended with a trip to the Grand Canyon. We decided while we were there we might as well stop by. I had never been to the North Rim only the South side and Keetch had never been at all so we were looking forward to our quick trip. It was beautiful obviously! I highly recommend going to the North side while visiting the Grand Canyon. Aside from having huge anxiety, I was so terrified I even had nightmares of one of the kids or myself falling down the Grand Canyon everyone was safe and once we got to the car my heart finally stopped pounding! Here are some pictures so enjoy.

Well Skittles drove us there safe and sound. She is the biggest dork of a dog that is literally where she wants to be when we go somewhere with her! Right on the steering wheel.

I know I know!! My hair looks awful, I look awful (forgot my hair straightener wind was blowing, you catch my drift) and keetch would like to make it known that he does have a left eye. I did however, want a family picture by the Grand Canyon, its just, I can't always promise how its going to turn out.

As much as I love this guy he loves to make me uncomfortable. One sudden move and goodbye Keetchy. I don't think I have ever taken a picture so fast in my life! It did turn out pretty cool even though I was shaking uncontrollably. He talked Brianna into doing it as well, you can imagine how bad I was freaking.


Even poor Skittles got put in Danger. If she could talk she would be saying, "This isn't funny guys."

We then ended our adventure with a picnic. note to self, don't ever take a picture of Keetch while he is eating food he is not afraid to show it.

Oh and lets not forget the shoulder rubbing rock. Whoever gets on it has to rub papa bears shoulders, he made that rule up himself.

We did spend a lot of time walking around and enjoying nature! I so loved it! There were cabins right up by the Grand Canyon and if I wasn't so afraid of falling down the darn thing I would love to stay a whole week!


Here is a video thought I would add it just for fun. It's kind of long sorry.
