The Grand Canyon Part 1

We made it to the Grand Canyon and set up our camp.  We checked out the map to figure out what we wanted to do before dinner.

As we drove over to the visitors center it started raining and thundering and lightning!  We checked out the visitor center while we waited for the rain to stop but got impatient to see the canyon so we set out while it was raining.

The rain drops were very cold and there was quite a breeze so it was a little chilly as we walked.

Once we reached the canyon the rain had mostly stopped and the sun even came out a little!

We found a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view and watch as the sun started to set.

Of course Sarah and I took tons of pictures.  I felt like I kept taking the same picture over and over again but I just couldn't keep myself from taking more.  Plus the lighting was changing almost constantly so it was almost a different picture each time!

We headed back to the car before the sun had set completely because it was getting late and we hadn't eaten dinner yet.  When we got to the car the sky looked like this...

Back at camp we quickly got started making ceasar salad, spaghetti and sausage, and grilled sourdough. 

We finished the night up with a game of scrabble and then headed to bed.
