Dan took pity on me Friday and took us on a detour to Meteor Crater. I have been interested in seeing the crater for years, and was excited to see that it was relatively close to Flagstaff. Totally fascinating. I’m not sure it was worth the price to get in, but we may do it again if any of my kids really get into space stuff.
It was a good morning excursion, and then we were off again to the Grand Canyon.
We spent the afternoon hiking down the Bright Angel Trail. We were told that there was a rest house 1.5 miles down the 6mile trail. We figured we would hit that, and hike back up.
We gave up after hiking 2 miles down an icy, muddy trail. I think we may have just missed the rest house. Oh, well, we got our 4 mile hike in.
Garrick and Dan LOVE the new hiking backpack. Garrick was too small for it last year, so Dan was excited to put it to use this year. Sure made things easier.
The casualties of the hike. Connor fell on his butt, Alicia on her knees, and Haden everywhere else. Luckily we were mostly dry by the time we got back to the car. The boys did great though! It was a nice quiet trip back to Flagstaff.
