There is a reason they call it GRAND!

Its been on my "bucket" list for a long time.

I was able to talk my sidekick into going for my birthday!

It was a great present!!!

It was simply breathtaking! My mom, the ultimate tourist!!!

So here is a short story... Driving the to the Grand Canyon took about 9 hours.

I had no idea what to expect when we got to the park but we couldnt see it through the juniper trees... So I said in my nervousness, I hope this isn't a WHAHH WHAH WHAH moment.

it wasnt!!!

One of the things i had to do was see the canyon at sunrise.

YES i did say SUNRISE!!!

it was worth it.

cant believe i said it?

I DID.

i had to get a picture of mannys grand canyon at the Grand Canyon.

he makes me laugh.

The Night we got into williams i saw snow.

I told them i think there is snow on the ground.

Both Manny and my Mom said "thats not snow, its the sand and the way the light is hitting it."

I literally was rubbing my tired eyes and blinking thinking that i was losing it.

I wasnt... it was a very cold trip!!!

My Dad would probably hate that i posted this picture but having someone in a wheelchair is worth its weight in gold at a state park.

front of the line passes on all the busses.

i am sure everyone else hated us but it was nice to be boarded first!

Dad got scared at the canyon, he didnt like how far down it was!!!

Manny was a champ to go on a trip with my parents and to help out as much as he did.

He teaches me about service on a regular basis.
