A couple weekends ago we went on a very spur of the moment family "day-cation" to the Grand Canyon. We have flown over the Grand Canyon but have never landed there. Jason called me one Saturday morning that he was working for a friend and suggested that we come since the weather was gorgeous and the kids were not at school. (Part of the reason we have never gone before is because Jason doesn't usually work on Saturdays and so the days he does work the kids are at school, and in the summer it is just too hot). We were given the Grand Tour. We first flew in an Airplane to the Grand Canyon, then we got in a Helicopter and went to the base of the canyon and got the view from below, then we got on a Boat and went down the Colorado River. After the boat ride we got back in the helicopter and went back up top and rode in a Bus over to the Sky Walk. I do not have a fear of heights at all but the Sky Walk made my stomach drop and really had Cloey scared at first. We ate lunch overlooking the canyon and then headed back to the airport for our flight home. I really was a fun day. I am so glad we got to have this experience together as a family. It was neat to let the kids see where Jason works and see what he does while he is away.

What a fun adventure! Your family is too much fun. Lucky kids!
Little tid bit of info, my father-in-law built the skywalk. He wanted us all to go out there when it was done, but I DO have a fear of heights......that was not going to happen.
Those jumping and hanging pictures are AWESOME!!! I am not extremely afraid of heights, but taking my kids to the Grand Canyon (where they would likely fall off the edge) might just bring out the paranoia in me.
Looks like you guys really had fun!
