the Grandest of Canyons

 

I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time last fall right after I turned 36. My kids were 11, 9 and 4 seeing it for the first time. Photos just don’t do it justice. Also if any parents have gone and not had a few mini heart attacks in between the amazement and wonder, let me know because you are a special breed. There was a rickety fence for about ten feet and then a ledge just tall enough for kids to trip over and then nothing, and three crazy boys running around and asking if you can skydive into the Grand Canyon. But it was worth it, so worth it.

You can head over to Childhood Unplugged for this month’s batch of outdoor and unplugged moments from the other project contributors…

  • jackie - Yes!! It was the most beautiful and anxiety causing experience all wrapped in one. My kids were 4 and 10, it was February, SLIPPERY snow everywhere, not sure how I even got one image of our time there I was so nervous. But wow, it was a priviledge to stand there once I moved passed all of that.

    Thanks for another wonderful view of such beauty.ReplyCancel
