The Grand Canyon

This past weekend was the kids Fall Break so we decided to go to the Grand Canyon. We have lived in Arizona for a year now and thought it was about time we went. Travis thought it would be fun to take a train ride to get to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon...which it was. We had a busy morning Saturday with Blake's t-ball practice and Brady's first soccer game(pictures to come of that)and then we headed to Flagstaff to spend the night. It was so nice in Flagstaff it felt like Fall and the leaves had changed colors. It was 105 in Phoenix when we left for Flagstaff so a change in temp and seasons was welcomed. It was so nice to feel the cool air and have to wear a jacket.
The next morning we head to Williams where we got on the train headed for the Grand Canyon. It was fun the kids really enjoyed it. They had some entertainment but mainly it was just fun to be on a train.



We all loved looking at the canyon it was amazing. It is something everyone should see at least once.


Before the train left the station in the morning they had a cowboy shoot out. It was very cute the kids loved it.





On the way back from the canyon they had some robbers on the train,Abby did not like that at all.
