My new playground; Grand Canyon!

Wowza!

It was so worth the wait to spend the night in Kingman and hit up Grand Canyon the next morning!! The Grand Canyon is THE most amazing thing we've done this far on our west coast trip. I had so much fun!!


To begin with, we met the guy from yesterday, he recognized us and we got a few laughs through out the conversations that followed. Again; off to a good start! The sun was shining, and felt so nice and warm, even though the wind was extremely cold. We got on the different buses in the park, and it was as easy as 1,2,3 to get around the park and see everything we wanted for as long as we wanted. Loved it! The views were amazing! Every moment felt like a Kodak moment. Mom freaked out every time I walked up to the edges (there were no safety lines anywhere). You know how you, when you care for kids, put on warmer clothes on the little once because You are cold? Same concept. She tried to disallow me to walk by the edge and such, cause she was afraid. It was sweet, and she got really brave too after giving it some time. I got a pretty freaking cool Mom, she rocked those rocks! ;)


The first view point was okay. It was your first 'wow' experience over the Canyon. They also had some Native American performance by two girls, but it was really really lame. They walked in a circle and didn't include any movements to the music (tribal music). What was the most interesting here though, was to walk through the area showing the different building structures the tribes used when building their homes. It was like time traveling in a way, when you stepped in to the old tipi's.

Our second stop was majestic! The view, was


stunning! The valley, the cliff, the river, the way the sun kissed it in red and yellow. I can't explain the beauty of the landscape (and neither can our cameras).
This was by far my favorite nature stop on our trip! And it made perfect for a play ground. Here we could climb, and walk around more freely from other tourists and just enjoy ourselves. I looooved it!

Yihaa! Our last stop was the Ranch! This was not so much a nature experience, this was more a Cowboy/Indian hands on experience. Not on the guys... tho we got offered work and to be 'tasted' lol.. the staff was great, they were so funny. Well anyways, here you could take pics with the horses (of course I allowed my self this free little tourist trap), to shoot with bow and arrows, throw lasso, ax and horse shoe, eat at the saloon, and last but not least, to go on a wagon ride. Mom and I got carried away with the cowboys and tried all the activities multiple times. It was so much fun! These guys are super! So helpful, funny and open to teach you all they know about the ranch.

I think today was the day, we have enjoyed the most here on the west coast. The over all experience were so good!
Now we're planning our next move after some great shopping and a superdedooper tast dinner at Granny's.  Antelope Canyon tomorrow, I can't wait! I am so excited about this one yall! This is the one thing I have high expectations on, so it better be good!!
