We stayed at the beautiful property of Youth With A Mission, Tribal Winds...a YWAM training center and ministry with the Hopi people of New Mexico. Most of the staff were gone while we were there so we took advantage of the quiet.
The Whitlers at the Canyon...there is no way our tiny camera could get close to capturing it.
We did a Fossil walking tour with Ranger Wolfe...
This is an ancient sea shell...
Spongebob Fossil Pants...
Sam and Stella doing workbooks to become Junior Rangers...
For Sam's badge, he had to write a Haiku about the Grand Canyon. Here it is:
The canyon out there
Has the cutting river and
The forest so high
They made it...
And one last thing. Amie had a particularly odd wish. She wanted to see the Hotel where Clarke and Ellen Griswold (in National Lampoon's Vacation) stood and looked at the Grand Canyon for about 5 seconds because Clarke had stolen cash from the register. So, yeah, we...uh...went there...
And now we're on the road, after a little mechanical difficulty in Albuquerque (I knew we should'a taken that left turn!) and on our way to Texas. Week one done!
