Grand Canyon

This past weekend we were finally well enough to go to the Grand Canyon. Sean's sister and family were flying to Vegas and then making their way there (they'll continue on to Bryce and Zion) We had planned to spend a couple of days with them, but needed to cut it short to go check on Mom. It was great to see them even if it was just a short visit. We even got to camp there....uhmmm thats a whole different issue. Let's just say we are too old to sleep on the ground anymore. It was a rough night, but something that we will definately have to do again with our camping stuff. The kids hiked and played and had a blast. We however forgot to apply sunscreen and most of us left the day a little burnt. If you ask the kids their favorite part they will tell you it was the squirrel on the side of the trail or Sam will tell you it was being able to hunt for the elk (that were very tame on the side of the road that he managed to chase into the intersection). It was so much fun to see them! We miss them already!

Sorry to hear you've been so sick, but glad you're all feeling better now. Sounds like you're keeping busy. Don't worry about Lia... Primary will help, and in time she will come to understand the Lord's mission and what Easter is all about. Keep in mind, she has good role models!
