Grand Canyon

Back on line again for our first day of exploring. On the bus after 5 days of homestay, the chatter never stopped. Sounds as if there have been some great adventures and some great new friends made in homestay and what a day for our first day out. The Grand Canyon in the snow. It was cold but clear in the early part of the day and it was fantastic to hear the surprise in the kids voices as they caught their first sight of the Canyon. We walked the rim trail, had snowball fights and took heaps of photos, some of which are here. By the end of the walk it was actually snowing and visibility almost lost. Don't worry if your son/daughter is not in a photo. They were taken at random with whoever we could catch but we did bring all 40 home! We had a fabulous day despite the cold (about -2C).

Off to the Sonora Desert tomorrow. A totally different scenario.
