Pictures really don't do the Grand Canyon justice - or any of the beautiful and scenic places we went on this trip. So, although I think some of our pictures are great, just imagine it even bigger (of course bigger) and better. What better way is there to see the Grand Canyon than from the air? That's right, we took a helicopter tour. Originally we weren't sure if Alex was going to go along with this. He even said no the first time or two we brought it up but the day of the tour he was ready. We could have taken a small plane instead but since daddy flies helicopters we couldn't pass up the chance to let the boys fly in one too. They were so excited waiting for our turn. The tour people even had to weigh us before we got on - I guess to determine where we sat?
The sights were amazing.
Although he was very excited the 20-30 minute helicopter ride (and probably the noise & motion) just put Zachary right to sleep! Poor little guy.
When the tour was over we drove back into the park to walk around. I was a little nervous with the boys because although there were fences around the edges it was still rocky. I just knew that little boys running around would fall on the rocks. We very rarely let go of their hands.

Unfortunately since I was hesitant to let them lose and we couldn't take hikes or river rafting, etc there wasn't much else for us to do. So we head to California a little earlier than expected.

Awesome pics!!
I would have been nervous to let my kids play around there, too! The picture with little Zach's head just bobbing down in the helicopter is too cute!
