Vacation: The Grand Canyon, Part 2

While Ted, Kris, Anna and David were hiking, I stayed at the room with Thomas and Daniel and let them sleep in. We enjoyed hanging out together when they finally woke up.





After breakfast, Thomas and Daniel were rearing to go exploring themselves, so we went on a mini-hike into the Canyon, and then we walked down to the train depot. We had to wait awhile for the train to come in.




Here we are waiting...


And more waiting...



Finally the train arrived!


Ready to go hiking!

Kris, Ted and I took David and Thomas on a trip up to see Hermit Point, which consisted of several stops and different views of the Canyon. We saw some amazing views of the Canyon, as well as many points where the Colorado River is visible.

What a great time we had at the Grand Canyon! We headed out the next morning, but not before I got to witness the sunrise over the Canyon. What a beautiful and magnificent sight! Thank you, Father, for giving us the opportunity to witness this marvel of your creation!
