Very Grand

So our trip back was a blast. We decided to stop in the Grand Canyon and it was totally worth it! The kids were amazing, and I would totally road trip again with them! What I could have done without? Brian complaining that I didn't want to drive ever. I did however clock in a total of about 14 hours rounds trip. NOT BAD for someone who cant see without her missing glasses!

Starting off the trip right... I had NO idea they made these. I thought I was in heaven, which I was, but really I couldn't even come close to finishing this... Yes friends, it is true. I could not finish 64 OZ of Diet coke.
We went through Lake POwell and it brought back some fun memories! The whole drive though was so beautiful!



Full moon that night!
The kids Loved the hotel and again, were awesome.

GRAND CANYON!




This was super scary. I walked as far out as I could and then I had to crawl to the edge. One little hand slip and I would have been gonners. Brian was mad at me for this one!












Once we got into Texas we saw all of these cotton fields which were beautiful to look at!



It feels good to be home but the trip was so worth it (Yes more pictures to come from trip, ridiculous I know)

I'm sad we missed you but TOTALLY understand! I know you guys had a ton of people to see and things to do and places to eat. Hahahaha! Next time for sure! Those pictures are AMAZING, by the way! You are a crazy person for going out on the rock so far. I had an anxiety attack just looking at it!

Ya know I really think we're going to have to go in December. I've already been thinking about it and you've got me convinced. We'll see if I can convince Chris... that might be hard.
