grand canyon

better late than never, right?

bryson will be writing his first chapter/personal story in school, and so he brought home an "idea sheet." we had to write down some ideas, about a trip he had recently taken. he decided to either write about our drive to the grand canyon, or our hike up the narrows (in zion, utah). i got to thinking about our trip and how i had never posted pics from either of those.....

so here are some pics from the grand canyon!

sickie boy fell asleep during the last 20 min. of the three hour drive!

when we left zion, it was about 95 degrees.

we had NO idea that it would be 52 degrees (and raining!) at the canyon!!

we were all wearing shorts, short sleeved shirts, and flip flops!

there was not a sweatshirt in sight!! yikes!

(pizza and hot chocolate in the lodge helped to warm us up!!)

i was astounded by God's beauty....

josh and bryson got out with the rest of our group, while i stayed in the car for a bit and let hudson sleep. when he woke up....we got out and went to see the canyon.

it was so foggy/cloudy and rainy that you could not see a thing!

i basically said this to the Lord....."um, God....we did not drive all this way for nothing. please....i beg You.....lift the fog so that we can see Your beauty! You don't want us to miss it!!"

about 15 minutes later, the canyon started clearing out. words cannot describe the glory and the beauty of it. the grand canyon is so vast...so incredible. neither josh or i had ever seen it...and we were in awe.

God- You are good!

it's fun to look at these amazing pics. though the trip was taken less than two months ago, it feels like it has been much longer than that!

seeing them again reminds me of God's creation....of His glory....of His beauty- all around us!

thank You, Lord....for an amazing time at the grand canyon!
