Okay….Hi! I never know how to start off! Um, so after Mommy’s friends Anice’s house we tried to find a campsite close to the stadium so the boys could bike there, 
(poor Zach) so they could try to “scalp” tickets. After looking and calling and looking and calling we finally, well, had to stay in a hotel on Luke Air Force Base. Toley, Kik and I all really love hotels though. They’re so…clean! But we only stayed there for a night. Mommy and Daddy got the bed inside, Z and Kik got the parents bed (with flannel sheets I might add) and Toley and I got stuck up on our bed. The next day (Sunday) we went to church and drove awhile to the next campsite. We got there pretty late, so I don’t exactly know what it was called or looked like. That night Daddy took out the planner (uh oh) everybody started to run, but it was actually okay. We just discussed what we were going to do tomorrow. Well we decided to go to the Grand Canyon tomorrow, instead of
doing….something else. So off we went. We’ve all seen pictures and movies (Brady bunch season 3!) of the Grand Canyon but like everything else you never really know what it’s like until you get there! Well I didn’t really expect it to be so cold in AZ! I guess it is winter. We all bundled up and…went to the visitor’s center. We bought a couple post cards then went back, got the dog put some more stuff on and headed off. There are a couple walks you can do, we just kind of hiked around on the trail and videoed and took pics. It’s so huge and wide open; Toley and Mommy were contemplating on how whoever discovered it, discovered it! Well it’s so hard to describe so I’ll just let you look at pics. After we looked awhile, Daddy and Z-man (like always) went on
a longer walk, while the rest of us went in the car and drove to meet them somewhere. After looking around and walking…well, we didn’t really know where. We finally found them. We took a couple pictures in front of it and then went back to the “arv” and drove a little more to another part of it. There’s a huge watch tower that was built in the…um…a long time ago! There’s a little gift shop and then you can walk up, up, up to the very top and there’s a bunch of windows you can look out of and look down at the canyon! It was really neat! All of our 1st times I think. Kik just cannot walk on any bit of ice though so that was kind of a problem. Well everything else is pictures. You can just kind of imagine how really awesome it is! I think Z might be writing next ‘bout MI. Maybe. We had a blast when he was there!! Ha! At least Toley and I did! We didn’t have any football for a whole week! sigh, we enjoyed it while it lasted.
Um….BYE!

Delightful post, sounds (and looks) like you had fun. Have a good one and come back soon!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The Desert View Watchtower was built in 1932 (in other words, "um... a long time ago!")
My Precious One, you did an excellent job of the Grand Canyon...could visualize it all. So humungous isn't it? Had to laugh at some of your comments..especially how everyone runs when Daddy gets out the "Planner." I would too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got one nite in the motel. Too bad it wasn't warmer, but still a thrill to be there. Good job, my sweet baboo! Grog xoxoxo
