When D learned that Grandma and Grandpa had not been to the Grand Canyon on a clear day, he checked the weather to see what it was going to be like at the Canyon the next day. When it saw a clear forecast, plans were made to head over to the Grand Canyon for the day. The weather was crisp and clear in the morning. The temperatures warmed up a little during the day, but it was still cool. It was a beautiful day for observing the Grand Canyon. When we first arrived, we headed over to the visitor’s center.…

Grandma and Grandpa Visit the Cabin
Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures
Originally, the cabin repair was scheduled to be completed by the end of December, so a visit from Grandma and Grandpa was scheduled.

On Saturday morning, Munchkin was still feeling under the weather, but she really wanted to at least try to make it through the archery class that we had scheduled through the local parks and recreation. She had been waiting for a couple of months to take this class, and she was rather excited about it. She’s be interested in archery for a while now, but I hadn’t been able to find anything that would allow her to try it out before making a commitment to it. When I found this one day class, I knew that it would give Munchkin…
