Last week we had a day between rotations and so we took the opportunity to drive the 4 hours to the Grand Canyon! Chad had never been, and we figured that it was something that we should do as we will probably never be closer to it again, and since time is running out for us here we decided that it was now or never. It was fun and I think that Chad really enjoyed it, Russell on the other hand did not love the 8 hours in the car that day. But we did try to make it fun for him, we made a couple of stops just to get out and move, and when we got there, he got to play with snow for the first real time!
If you will notice in this first picture, Dad has built Russell a little snow man, move to the next picture...
Russell demolished the poor thing! Then he started to cry because it was gone, Chad and I busted up laughing, and made him a new one that he left standing and we said good by to it, on the trail.
Dad and Russell at the look out!
All of us with the sun in our face. We had a lot of fun, but I would have to say that I did not particularly enjoy the hours in the car with Russell being a pill.

Looks like fun!! Colder than I would have thought. When are you planning on leaving vegas? Nick might have a conference down there in the spring and I want to come if you are still there.
Awesome trip! We tried that once made the trip, scheduled a camp site. Showed up in shorts and a light jacket to snow and a view of some very nice clouds. Let just say we took made the 4 hour drive back home instead of staying the night! Glad your trip turned out better thank ours :)
