Grand Canyon Trip

This past week my family was able to come and visit us. It was so much fun to have them around and to help out and play with Emi chan. She loved my family (especially my sister) and was out of control with her dancing and talking. She is so funny because now she is like a parrot and tries to copy everything. She has turned out to be quite the little entertainer.

This past Thursday and Friday we stayed in Flagstaff and then went to the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was beautiful. It’s amazing to see it with your own eyes. I’ve always seen pictures of it, but to actually be there, was kind of spiritual. It is definitely a place that I would recommend to see before you die. Also the Grand Canyon National Park was so much fun. There are so many things to do on the South Rim Side, that I can’t wait to go back and take a trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Overall, it was a great trip and a little mini weeklong vacation for me. I love it when my family comes and miss them so much. I have so much fun with them and wish they were closer so that I can see them more often.

Here are some pictures of our trip from the Grand Canyon.

We finally have a family picture with everyone!!! This is a miracle… :)

My Mom and Dad helping Emi to walk at the Indian Ruins at the Grand Canyon. I can’t believe people actually lived up there. Can you imagine waking up to that everyday? Amazing...

And finally, the Grand Canyon with a peek of the Colorado River.

We went up there with Theron when he was about 5 months old. We haven't been back since then. You've inspired me to take another trip. It's beautiful!
I'm glad you had fun with your family. Family time is always so nice and fun! Now that they're gone does this mean you can play?

Hey Aika! I'm glad you found our blog... I didn't know you had one too! It will be good to keep in touch since Brett said you were quitting (is it true?) Well- the job offer is I suppose good news so that we know if we will be moving or not instead of WAITING until the end of the year to know if they would keep Brett or not. I really don't know if we will go or not because the salary isn't that great.. so we'll see! By the way- Emi is soo cute!!
