Over the 4th of July weekend we went to the Grand Canyon for our 2008 Family Reunion. Each of the children is assigned to take a turn and host. This is a new plan. It will be held every-other-year. Because Jared is first born, he and Adrienne took on 2008. They did a great job.
It's beautiful at the Grand Canyon. Almost so beautiful that it looks unreal. We took in the IMAX movie and it actually made me teary-eyed as I contemplated the wonderful world we live in.
We camped at the Ten-X campground close to the park in a group area with new facilities all to ourselves. There was some rain which dropped the temperatures and so we were very comfortable.
How could we not have a marvelous time visiting one of the 7 Wonders of the World with our family?
YES! We flew in a helicopter over the canyon! Janice & Spencer

Junior Rangers! The grandkids who were old enough completed their assignments so they could get their Junior Ranger Badges. You can see the badges pinned to their shirts. Here they are with Ranger Brian. He did a thorough job quizzing them and looking through their books. This is serious business, folks!

We had a great time, too! Thanks for all your help and support getting it organized. And thanks for a wonderful family history presentation. Jared copied it onto his computer so that we could have it. Taylor is designing a National Parks computer game now. You can choose being such characters as a hiker, climber, etc. Creative kid!

Lots of fun! Great campsite! Even thought Beth & I got a little sick the last day or two. Kim LOVED being with all her cousins. They're having to amputate my finger. Just kidding, blisters popped. I'm jealous of the helicopter ride!
