We took a quick day trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was about a four hour drive with stops. Henry proved to fit in to the Catmull family even more and was a great little traveler. We somehow managed to time his feedings perfectly.
Iva and Charlie were in heaven and were a little too comfortable. Iva kept asking to stand on the edge and Charlie didn't want to hold our hands when we were near the railings. The glass windows looking straight down in the Mathers Point Visitor Center didn't even phase them. They walked a little less than a mile along the rim and did great. I was a little surprised that they didn't get tired.
After stopping at Mathers Point, we drove over to Desert View Watchtower. I didn't get any pictures, but Iva, Charlie and Shawn climbed to the top and had a blast looking out over the "Grand Candy-yon." I am not a huge fan of heights and stayed down below with Henry.
After exploring a bit, we headed to Flagstaff to spend the night before heading to Sedona. We had a pretty good night in the hotel. Henry slept better than he ever has. Iva slept like a rock in a drawer because she wanted to be like Henry. Charlie, on the other hand, had a lot of energy until he finally crashed at 11 o'clock. He and I spent some time spinning circles and running the hallway at 1030 because everyone else was sound asleep. They slept in long enough and were well rested to begin our next adventure at Sedona.
