The Grand Canyon: Rained Out

We went to the Grand Canyon at the end of our trip to Arizona. We were expecting to enjoy a delightful day of summer heat and crowded trails and instead got temperatures in the 50s and a hail storm. 

We didn't get a chance to hike, but it was still amazing. Because it's the Grand Canyon. And because in taking Ellison for a visit (if only for a few hours) I felt like I was meeting the call of both parental and patriotic duty. Nothing could dampen my enthusiasm because I was in it for not only for Ellison, but for the entire United States of America. 

I felt like Clark Griswold on his way to Wally World. But in the end Ellison was sufficiently impressed... with the golf-ball sized hail. Of course. And maybe even a little bit with the canyon itself.

    Welcome! 

    My family and I love to get outside and explore every chance we get. My daughter and I started this blog as a way to chronicle not only the places we have visited, but also as a way to preserve our time together. We hope you enjoy it and will make a little time for a hike with friends!
