Growing up, my family always took long vacations. Because of those trips, I've seen 45 of the 50 states, but we had never been to the Grand Canyon. We decided to take a road trip with our three families from California and see it together. All I can say is that it doesn't even seem real; the beauty is indescribable. And we definitely want to go back, with just the adults, on a hiking adventure. Here we are, keeping the trip tradition alive with our own families.
Our own little family standing on the "edge" of the North Rim.
The hotel we stayed at was only a couple years old and was all decked out in cowboy parafanilia. The girls loved the mini fridge. We swam with all the cousins in the big pool, ate pizza together, and ran across the hall back and forth between the rooms. It was cousin heaven.
Gretters standing in our cowboy bathroom. Notice the boots and steer horns on the wallpaper.
Bell and E in the hotel. All three girls clamour to hold their littliest sister. It's so cute.
My little sis and her groooowing family; all five kids and one on the way!
Little brother and his little family.
The cousins sitting patiently waiting to start our Grand Canyon tour.
Sisters from another mother. My sister and I joke that Gretters and Eva were twins separated in heaven. These two munchkins are a year apart, and that's about the only difference. They are both fiery and independent and simply charming when they want to be.
