Grand Canyon!

Growing up, my parents took my brother Gavin and I on some amazing vacations. We visited Virginia Beach, Montecello, DC (2x), Florida (2x), Washington, Oregon, Tennessee, Hawaii, Texas...and all over. My parents wanted to instill in Gavin and I a desire of learning and seeing things outside our Idaho bubble! Well, my parents weren't the biggest "camper-type" people so anything we did as a family was on a beach, in a hotel! Michaels family was the opposite, they did anything that involved the outdoors and getting dirty!! Well, even with our two amazing family trips combined, neither one of our parents ever took us to the Grand Canyon!! What a shame! One of the 7 natural wonders of the world and we've never seen it!...until now! We decided to take a day, just me and Mike, to witness this remarkable wonder! We had a blast! We hiked around...and it was funny the comments and looks I got (ya know, being almost 8 months pregnant and hiking around the Grand Canyon). What a sight! Michael would climb all over, up and down, and I pretty much stayed on the path. My body is starting to get very tired with this sweet little girl being carried around all day...so I wasn't as adventurous.


On our way!


High Elevation! :)


The North Rim


GORGEOUS!!!


Mamma and baby Callaway just hiking-hiking! It was funny cause when we took this picture, there was an older woman walking by and she said "You better bring that baby back here so you have a before and after picture!"






Nice people to take a picture of me and my handsome Husband together!


We packed a delicous lunch and enjoyed all the goodies while loving the beautiful view!
