Traveling, again...

I am at the Grand Canyon National Park this week for work, and I have to say, I love the canyon and think it is beautiful anyway, but the snow just makes it even more so!

I have never lived in any place that it snows (I just saw my first snowmobile!), so it is a little weird for me to walk outside and see this!

I wish I could have taken the boys with me - I would love to see Sam and Monty's reaction to the snow!  :D

Gopher and Squirrel love to roll and bury their noses in the snow until they sneeze. It would be worth the trip to take your kids to a snowier state. Might have to wait until next Winter though.

Cool! Isn't it breath taking? When I visited the Grand Canyon there was snow there too, although it was 80 in Phoenix! Such a contrast.

The WDA has never been to the Grand Canyon but we play in the snow in our mountains. One of dad's favorite Grand Canyon memories is the winter he and momma went and there was deep snow at the rim and when he hiked down, it actually was in the 70's.

We are considering a WDA weekend in Prescott in March. Are you close?

If you've never been in snow, it is something. I never really tire of it, but sometimes winter can be too long.

The Grand Canyon with snow? That must such a beautiful sight. What a great job you must have. :)

Honey the Great Dane said...

The Grand Canyon is one of those places I've always wanted to visit! Wow – it must be even more spectacular with snow! :-)

boy you are lucky to work there even if it is just for a short while.

My Vickie told me about a search she had there years ago and how cool it was.

She and Andy (her search dog at the time) hiked from the top all the way to Phantom Ranch. It was GGRREEAATT...

Have fun...

WOW the Grand Canyon, and you really got to work there. I think I would like it better without the albino brain jiggers AKA snow.

What an amazing place to have to travel to for work! Love the photos, especially of the canyon with snow!

Marvin and Jeannie said...

I have always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon, it always looks so awesome.

We usually get very bad snow every winter, so was dreading this winter, however, no show on the snow thank goodness.

Last year and the year before was totally bad. I have photos of six foot drifts and not being able to use our cars for months.

But we love the fact snow is a novelty for youse!

Marvin adores the snow totally!

love from Cassandra aka Jeannie xxxxxx oh and Marvin xxxx

MAXMOM IN SOUTH AFRICA said...

Like you, I've also not seen much snow in my life. It stays pretty hot here in SA.
It would be wonderful to be able to see the Grand Canyon one day. We have two amazing canyons in Southern Africa - Blyde River and Fish River...but I can imagine that they are not as 'grand' as yours :)

I am speechless. This can be an improbable blog and really partaking too. Great work! That is not likely much coming from an amateur blogger like me, however it's all I might assume after enjoying your posts. Nice grammar and vocabulary in contrast to different blogs. You actually know what you are talking about too. So much that you just made me want to learn more. Your blog has developed into a stepping stone for me, my fellow blogger. Thank you for the detailed journey. I really enjoyed the 6 posts that I've read so far.

Be Responsible!
