Grand Canyon

We made to the Grand Canyon in Mid October and the weather could not have been better.

It was AWESOME.  I always say I love mountains and trees and green.  The dessert just does make me all warm and fuzzy, but  this was quite a beautiful.

We were on vacation but the boys still needed to do some school work here we  have them sketching and checking the field guide.

We did a lot more hiking.  As you can see  Cody was worse for the wear.   He was not as energetic about hiking as the rest of us.  

I really like this shot it shows all of us  and the canyon.

The Ravens we mad crazy when they couldn't get into the drink cooler they  broke into it .   The day before  they just knocked off the lid and didn't like anything so on this day they decided just to open it up. The one thing the boys will remember  forever is, "Those Crazy Ravens"

This was the evening  we sat and watched the sun set.   I know this looks a little risky pose but don't worry, there is more cliffs ledges behind them.  

My super awesome boys.

I didn't get to close to the edge.

The sun has set.

Justin and Buck hiked down into the canyon early one morning.  They hiked to the one and a half rest stop and then came back up.  So in all they did 3 miles.  They had a good time.
