The Grand Canyon

Recently my mom and sister, Sarah came to visit. I showed them around St. George some, but we were a little limited as to what we could do since most days were over 100° F (It was June after all). We went on one hike to see the Petroglyphs (I'd show pictures, but Cameron didn't come and took his camera with him to work). We also watched Tarzan at the Tuacahn. That was AMAZING. My favorite was the acrobats on wires acting like apes.

The crowning point to our adventures was going to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. My brother, Brent, came for that as well. For any who haven't been there, the North Rim is much colder than the South Rim. It was cool enough that we needed jackets in the evening and also sometimes during the day.

All of us (except Cameron, he's taking the picture) a little wrapped up because of the rain.

This is how Brianna kept from getting wet.

We had the privilege of being there during a thunderstorm. Most of us went to hide in the car (after all, our hair was standing on end when we were too close to the rim) but Cameron and Eli decided to hide under a rock until it passed over. This allowed Cameron to get some BEAUTIFUL shots of the canyon. If you'd like to see those, check out his Flickr site. Not all of the pictures are from this trip, but all the ones that have rain, overcast skies, rainbows, etc. are.
