Choo Choo!






Pete and I just took Olivia to the Grand Canyon this week. We had so much fun. We took the Grand Canyon Railway up to the canyon and Olivia had so much fun singing and dancing on the train...she even had fun with the train robbers. She didn't get scared and started searching for money in my purse to give to them. We had a really good time with her. When we got to the canyon she wanted to look at the canyon and feed the squirrels. She never really wanted to go look at the museum stuff...she was all about the CANYON! So Pete and I decided she was ready to take the plunge. We walked down Bright Angel Trail with her and she fell in love with the beauty of the canyon walls. She was being very careful not to get to close to the edge and looking for animals and the occasional gecko. She kept telling us, "Thank you Mommy and Daddy for taking me on this trip!" At the end of the day she said "Can we do this tomorrow?" I knew she had fun and so did we. Our favorite part was watching her fall in love with the canyon just as much as we did. If you are wondering where Emma was...we decided she needed some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Snyder. She is at the age where she is into EVERYTHING and Mommy would be a nervous wreck if was that close to the edge.
