I explained in one of my earlier posts that my parents took a little vacation after Christmas. They went with a good friend and her daughter and they also took my daughter, Brenna.
They traveled from their northern Colorado home into Utah. We try to get pictures of our kids at state lines, so they took these for me:
That first day they drove through Moab and Arches National Park. I am amazed at the rock formations.
The second day they visited the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, they said it was very cold and windy. And that's the day my mom caught a cold that would stay with her the entire trip. =(
On Day 4, a visit to the Hoover Dam and on into Zion National Park in Utah.
The next day was Bryce Canyon. The colors here are just beautiful.
The next day they headed home. They could only get as far as Rifle, CO, due to the big snowstorm we got. So they had to stay the night and make their way home in the morning.
They got to see some breathtaking scenery. God is so awesome!! Brenna took some disposable cameras with her and plans to put them in her scrapbook soon.
Thanks Mom and Dad for inviting her along!

It looks like a beautiful trip.
Wow! What a magnificent trip - and wonderful time spent with grandparents. I am soooo jealous! :) We just LOVE traveling out west and it has been a few years - so I am itching to go. My parents just went through some of that territory in November and we used several of their photos during a geology study - looking at the landforms, etc. Your photos would work so well for that, too. We put a little blurb about it on our Willis Creek School site.
Love the redrock formations with snow. It's gorgeous.
Brenna will always remember her trip!
Incredible photos. I wouldn't want to live in these places, but I am always awed by their beauty. Fun trip for Brenna!
Great photos.
(I love the name Brenna. It was my pick for child #3 but we got a Brennen instead! LOL!)
Such a great trip for Brenna, wonderful memories for her to keep. Beautiful photos!
How sweet that she got to go on a special trip with her grandparents!
