Grand Canyon

Our next stop was the Grand Canyon. We spent an entire day there. Doug loved it. The kids and thought it was amazing to see, but a little scary :)

Doug brought his star gazing binoculars. We were able to see the Colorado River and some people  down in the canyon.

We also watched a movie about it.

The kids really just wanted to climb on the rocks.

We walked along the Trail of Time. It was a about a mile long. The kids would have enjoyed it more, but they were hungry. We ate lunch at a restaurant at the end of the trail.

I took this picture of my crazy husband really quick, then called for him to come back. He was way to close to the edge. 

Doug and Jordan are right next to the fence on the other side of the tree. The other kids and I stayed back on the bench.

Doug brought his telescope to watch the sunset (with his sun filter, of course! :)) and then he looked at the stars in the very dark sky. People started staring at him as he was setting it up. He let other people look through if they wanted to.

We watched the sunset:

After it was dark, the kids and I stay in the warm car while Doug stargazed. Jackson was entertaining them all with games he made up. After awhile, we all got out of the car to look at the stars for a little bit. But when we got to Doug he was already putting his telescope away because it was so cold.
