For Spring Break this year, we decided to go on our first long road trip all the way to the Grand Canyon. I've always wanted to see it, and the kids were excited when I mentioned it, so away we went! We began on April Fool's Day -- which was a bad idea... After having SO much fun at the Provo Rec. Center swimming -- Emma stopped swimming because her stomach was hurting. Less than an hour later, she was throwing up -- in the van-- with food poisoning from Burger King! We thought about turning right around and driving home in the morning, thinking it was the flu, but she woke up fine, and everyone else was good. A not so fun April Fool's for us. And Jake forgot to pack any jammies. Luckily, the rest of the trip continued fabulously.
Day 2, we made it to Page, Arizona. It was a very pretty, scenic drive. Lots of different kinds of mountains.
We made a stop at the Glenn Canyon Dam Visitor's Center, and walked on the bridge in front of the dam. It was VERY high.
All my dino's by the dinosaur prints they had there.
After checking in at the hotel, we walked over to explore the canyon's edge. The best dam view!
The ripples in the rocks were pretty cool! They were all over the canyon's edge.
We ate Nemo's Fish and Chips -- and they were delicious! Finished the night off swimming at the hotel -- which the kids think is the best part.... Silly kids, we can do that here in Meridian!
