We were in need of some family time and a little adventure. We wanted to do a little overnight camping trip, but the weather at our camping site would have been in the low 30’s or colder overnight. We decided yesterday to switch it up and just do a day trip to the Grand Canyon!

The boys were a little fidgety in the car, but they did well. They were happy when we got there!

Zoomed in

We had miles of scenic beauty to take in…

…and they were more interested in the dirt

More dirt!

Oh look, some dirt AND leaves!

Ice cream!

Brendan is modelling the new cap we bought at the gift shop

Oops, he fell asleep right in the middle of his mustard pretzels

I had to make Trevor a little tent to keep the sun out of his eyes

We stopped at a rest stop called “Sunset Point” right at sunset. The sunset was unremarkable though.

We tried throughout the day to get Brendan to wear his glasses. He will happily wear them without the strap but when they start to slide, he takes them off. I got him to wear the strap tonight by bribing him with sips of beer!! Then he enjoyed a nice book.

The boys got to bed pretty late, so they had better sleep in!!!
