Here's Derek and friendly park ranger Janet, who gave us some literature and advice. She said she's on social media all over the world because everybody takes pictures of her! It's been awhile since we've had a celebrity here on the AFB, so thank you, Janet!
Derek didn't waste any time setting up his tripod for pics.
I'm sure this cell phone pic Deacon took does the Grand Canyon justice! Actually, it's not bad.
Derek wanted to have a little fun with the gang back at the office, making sure to convey the grandeur of this beautiful place with a low-resolution selfie.
The Grand Canyon with our kids in front of it?? Maybe the ULTIMATE photo op.
The random tourists waiting for our photo spot said, "This could be your Christmas card this year." I don't know, is the Grand Canyon wacky enough to be in our Christmas card?? Do we NEED to do wacky cards every year? Maybe I'll take a poll.
Derek loved this outtake; when taking these timer photos, he has to set the timer and then run to get in the picture. This time he stepped on Maren's foot. Maybe this could be the Christmas card.
Then we had to take one for my mom, in which we're falling back into the abyss...
This was a great spot, because it looked like Maren was right on the edge, but there was a big flat ledge underneath that rock outcropping.
At least that's what Derek told me...
Derek & Maren at the Tusayan Pueblo ruins. A worthwhile stop for our resident Pueblo expert.
And... what trip to one of the most majestic and awe-inspiring places on earth would be complete without a trip to the gift shop? Yes, he got the bird thing.
And Maren got this coyote puppet.
In the Visitor Center. A little light on this map showed us where we were.
Well, I guess those are all the pics fit for the AFB. I think we're going back to the Grand Canyon to see the sunrise tomorrow morning. That means a 3:30 AM departure! Stay tuned to see if it happens or not!
Tomorrow's post: hold onto your meteorites; we visited METEOR CRATER today!

What a nightmare for a Grandma to see. First my precious Granddaughter standing on the edge of a precipice and then the whole family falling backward over the edge! I WARNED you about this very danger!
All kidding aside, though, what an awesome experience. I'm so glad the kids are seeing in person the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. They will never forget this vacation!
