Grand Canyon National Park

11 years ago this month Scott and I visited The Grand Canyon. It was my first time seeing it and it took my breath away. Now, 31 parks later, it is still my favorite of all the National Parks. Many rank high on my list, but if you could only see one, I feel like this should be the one. The day before we took the kids, I had a little fear, much like the fear I had before taking them to Disney World.

The highlight of our day at the Grand Canyon for most of the members of our circus crew was a short hike they took into the canyon.  We all started on the hike, but it was more than this “fraid’ of heights Momma” could handle. The plan was to go to the first tunnel and back, but after about 2 treks on the switchback, I was biting back tears and hating EVERY second of it.
