Family Vacation

The Grand Canyon

We decided this summer we would take a fun family trip. We started are adventure off going down throught Kanab. We got to see part of Lake Powell as we crossed the Utah/Arizona border. We stayed the night in Page, Arizona. Then we got up early and start off to the Grand Canyon. When we got to the Grand Canyon we found a camp site and set up camp before we went out exploring. We started driving through the canyon stopping at scenic views. It is so amazing how beautiful it is. We walked some trails and looked off some cliffs. The kids were pretty fealess they would walk out on the edge with no problems. At the grand view Danny, Beverlie, and Kaitlyn got their picture took when they were in the rock. It was fun. Danny took the girls down a trail to the copper mine and he took some really awsome pictures along the way. The trail was steap annd rocky so me and the boys stayed at the top playing on the rocks and having fun. We took the kids to the indain ruins. It was neat to see how they lived. At the ruins there was a view of the highest peak in Arizona throught some trees. The kids favorite part was the (castle) tower. We climb up the top and took some picture of the grand canyon and we got a picture of the kids standing in the chimney. They had fun. At camp they played games and ran all over the place. We sang songs and told scary stories around the campfire.

After the Grand Canyon we traveled through Arizona and crossed over the Hoovr Dam. Then we stopped and seen Lake Mead. Then we stopped at Las Vegas and stayed the night. We took the kids down the strip and let them see the different casinos. They seen the waterfalls at the Mirage, the pirate ships at treasure Island, the Eiffel Tower and the Stratosphere. The next day we took the kids swimming. Then we took them to circus circus to see the circus show then took them to the adventure dome. Me and Danny rode the New york rollercoaster. It was a blast. On are way home we stopped at St. George and visited with Grandma White. It was nice to get to see here and see how she has been doing we really enjoyed it. I took pictures of the whole trip and made a slide show so you can see all the pictures we took.
