"Grand Canyon.....May 25, 2008"

As I mentioned before, at the end of May we had some family and friends from TN come out to visit us here in California. One of the places we visited while they were here is the Grand Canyon. We boarded a train in Williams, AZ and road it into the Grand Canyon. We had a blast! The Grand Canyon is an awesome site to see and if you've never visited it before, trust me, the pictures don't do it justice. On the way back we experienced a "train robbery" just like the old days in the west. Of course it was a "planned" robbery but trust me, they really did take what ever you dropped into their bags. As you can see from the photo, Savannah didn't want to give her dollar up. LOL

I hope you all enjoy the photos. Sorry it took me so long to post them on my blog.

The first picture is a picture of the kids with Eugene after the "Old West Shoot Out" show that we saw before boarding the train. The second picture is a picture of Rodger's brother, Timothy and his wife Sherri.

Here's a picture of us in front of the train we road.

When we first got to the Grand Canyon viewing area we were lucky to get to see the mighty Condors flying! There was actually 3 of them flying! They were only there for a few minutes but we were able to get some really great shots of them flying over the Canyon. What an awesome site! They are huge!

Then a squirrel came right up to the kids at another look out area. They thought that was so cool!











Our friends, Eugene & Beverly with their son Sean!







Timothy, Eugene, & Rodge!










A couple of my favorite shots!























No, we don't know the guy in the background but I love this shot and the way he is standing in the background behind the kids with the Grand Canyon view in the distance!





The train robbery!
