The second day of fall break was spent at the Grand Canyon. We were a bit lucky, since the government is shut down I was a bit afraid we would not be able to go to the Canyon but they opened the park on Saturday for one week. We got to hike down a bit and then we took a long walk along the rim. What a view. It was a wonderful to be in God's masterpiece.
On Sunday morning we drove up to Flagstaff. We spent our first day at Snowbowl Ski Resort. The ski lift is open for a ride to the top. They had already gotten a little snow so it was cold when we made it to the top. We spent a little time at the top looking around and hiking a little. Our ride down was COLD but perfect for hot cocoa when we reached the bottom. We spent a little more time there before making it to our hotel for the evening.
Saturday night Lauren and I went to the pumpkin patch. We invited Sammy to come along. It was fun to see the two cousins together. We had a great time at the petting farm, bounce pillow, corn maze, roasting mashmellows, hay ride and of course the pumpkin patch. It was a fun evening.
Blaire is on her varsity cheer team again this year. Her team has improved so much and they are fun to watch. Lauren and I went to cheer them on for the homecoming game. It was a bittersweet night for me. Blaire did great and her team won easily. However, it was a against my high school so it was a little sad for me. Blaire is a beautiful cheerleader and she is a joy to watch.
