January 10th, already?!

Yikes, I can't believe we are already 10 days into 2012.  These last 10 days (actually the last month) have been really busy and overwhelming and tiring and emotional and I can't think of any other words to describe it.

I'm posting some pictures here of the time we spent at the Grand Canyon's South Rim.  More details will come later after I get a chance to catch my breath and I don't have a pile of homework calling my name as I procrastinate...oops, there goes one of my resolutions!

This little critter came within a 18 inches of us.  I don't 

know if he wanted fed or just wasn't afraid of humans.  

Talk about a huge group!

Janay, Valerie, Judy, Jack, Grandma Jean, Jenita(Mom)

This is the first picture of the Grand Canyon that I took.

I was absolutely amazed and felt tiny.

See the helicopter shadow?  We were a mile high and

traveling at 105 mph when I took this picture.

Just one of the beautiful sights from the helicopter.
