We spent 3 nights at the Grand Canyon National Park at the South Rim. It was more beautiful than we imagined - which is always a nice surprise. Benjamin had a great time running the trail around the edge of the canyon and scaring us to death! The weather was perfect too - about 70 degrees and sunny.

We're currently in Sedona, Arizona and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The views are spectacular, as is the weather - 70 F (21 C) degrees and barely any humidity! We had a nice little hike today up Bell Rock as well as a long drive to take in all the views. Benjamin and Abbey had the best time exploring and clambering up the rocks...each doing very well for their respective ages, 21 months and 12 years. Tomorrow we move onto the Grand Canyon.
