The Canyon was as beautiful as ever. The Germans were really blown away by the sheer size of it, and rightfully so. It ain't called "grand" for nothin'.
When we got back to Flagstaff on Thursday, during dinner, we got the voicemail messages that Steve and Laura had their baby! An 8 lb. 6 oz. girl, whom they named Seren Skye (Seren is Welsh...it rhymes with Karen). To see a picture of the wee one, check out the link to Steve's blog, or for those too lazy to look for the link, click here.
Friday, the kids wanted to go sledding, but we were only out for about 30 minutes before the two younger ones, with their boots full of snow, were crying to go home.
Yesterday, on the way back to Phoenix, we stopped at Montezuma's Castle, an ancient cliff-dwelling. I found this great spot for a picture and I set the timer on my camera to get a group shot. We all leaned or sat on a rickety, wooden fence and waited for the picture to snap. Just as the flash started to go off, the fence gave way and started to fall backwards. So the picture is a real action shot with various degrees of terror and anxiety recorded for posterity. I wanted to take another one because the spot was such a good one, but everyone was ready to go, so this will have to do:

Wow! Hope we can go when we come in the spring. Even if you guys don't want to go again, we NEED to see the canyon we have not seen in over 35 years.
I would love to have been a fly on the canyon wall when the fence gave way...
I want to try to visit you guys this next year instead of going to Europe with Damaris. I'm gonna start working on it.
It sure would be nice to get to come out there before you head back to Fl, but not sure we will make it. So I will just have to enjoy the pics and stories.
Wayne - you looked like you were the first to realize the give-way on the fence...hahaha.Sounds like fun.
The trip sounds like fun...not the fence give-away.
