The best thing about Mike going to the U is that he has spring break, unlike the Y. This spring break we went with Mike's family down to the South Rim in Arizona. None of us had ever been there before, so we were all in awe by its beauty.
We left on a Wednesday and drove down to Paige, UT (Lake Powell) where we stayed in a motel. The following pictures are from the amazing dam that makes Lake Powell possible.
We set up camp in the woods on Thursday, and then went down to the following lookout point.
We were hoping that Friday would be the perfect day to go to the other lookout points, but it didn't stop raining until at least noon!! :-( So it was weird to look out into the Grand Canyon and not see anything, but it definitely gave us a different perspective and a few sweet pictures.
Luckily, the next day turned out perfect! Since we really only had one day at the canyon, we didn't do any hikes down into the canyon, but we had a fabulous time walking along the rim for a few miles.
The boys had plenty of fun trying to look like this guy:
Even though we only had one good day, it ended perfectly with a gorgeous sunset. We couldn't believe how beautiful and magnificent the Grand Canyon was. We can't wait to go back!!!
