Hiking the GRAND Canyon










Since we were already in Arizona, and only less than an hour away from the Grand Canyon, we decided to go and do a little sight seeing and hiking for a few hours the next day. I haven't been to the Grand Canyon in YEARS, and could hardly remember much about it, and to try and explain the Grand Canyon to the kids is nearly impossible, so we were excited to show them.

The Morgans decided to be troopers and go on a little drive with us, where we ended up seeing some really cool things. We got to see some Indian ruins, which the kids loved seeing, and then we got to hike up a big dome building - and look at the canyon from 70 feet above. It was so neat to drive along the canyon and have our breath taken away every time from the amazing view. Max kept asking who made it that way, and Jackson would reply, "Jesus did Max. And then He rested on the 7th day." I love the sweet things that happen between siblings when they don't think anyone else is listening. And I'm happy to hear that some things we as parents teach them - they actually listen to and understand! I'm so thankful for my boys and the sweet things that come out of their mouths.
