Day 3 - Grand Canyon

We hit the road early on day three and headed south. We crossed the border into AZ and stopped Under the Banner of Heaven in Colorado City. JP wouldn't let me shop for additional wives. Something about not being able to control the one I have...

 

A few hours later we reached the north rim of the Grand Canyon. This was JP's first experience on the north side, and the boys' first time to the canyon, ever. We had lunch at the lodge and sat next to one of the ginormous picture windows that overlooks it all. We hiked out to Bright Angle Point and GP didn't like the exposure at all. CP didn't seem to mind.

 

One of the things that caught us by surprise was the abundance of lush green meadows on top of the Kaibab Plateau. After driving all morning thru red rock, red dirt, and red dust, the bright green of the grass and aspen was breathtaking.
