We decided to get out of the cold weather for President's Day weekend and go to the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately the Grand Canyon didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be warm. We headed out Friday morning and made the drive though southern Utah and stayed that night just over the Arizona border in Page, AZ (near Lake Powell). Just seeing Lake Powell made us wish we had a boat. Saturday morning we awoke early and made the two hour drive to the Grand Canyon. There was snow on the ground, the wind was blowing, but the view was spectacular. We spent the day driving along the south rim, braving the cold at each of the look-outs or vistas along the way. Some of the stops were a little precarious with icy trails, severely lacking guard rails, and 5,000 ft drop-offs. We enjoyed the day there and have vowed that we will never take our kids there until they are grown.

yay for your update, it was fun to look at your pictures and hear a little more about your adventures! I hope all is well! Love you both.
Jake, I like the snow contrasting with the walls of the canyon and the fact that you guys risked life and limb to get the pictures definitely adds! I love the Grand Canyon. It is the best thing about Arizona. Maybe one day I will actually return to the land of my birth...but probably not :)
Sounds like a lot of fun! Vegas is pretty warm so when you're done admiring God's beautiful creations then you can come see the trash man has created down here. Actually, that is probably why it is so warm down here. J.K., we can find a lot of wholesome fun, so come visit when you can.
great pictures! looks like you guys had a fun time. glad you made it back flat tire and all! can't wait to see you guys at the reunion.
what a fun adventure! you two always are doing such fun activities....keep the pictures coming. we can't wait to see you soon!
