Woke up early and packed up..  As we were packing up, there were Squirrels everywhere in the RV park.  The kids were fascinated.. as were we.  One cheeky little squirrel came right up to Alex (expecting food no doubt)

Back on the road - To the Grand Canyon

He got some great shots.

We did a spot of grocery shopping, a top up and then hit the long road again to the Grand Canyon.

When we arrived at the park, it started to snow ~!  Greggy was right (this of course doesn't mean I was actually 'wwwrrrrrrrrong' :)  )

This is the first time the kids have seen the snow.. and boy oh boy did it come down.  It was beautiful (I'm more than sure, I wont be using this as an adjective to describe snow in another month or so).. The kids wanted to get out there straight away..

I cooked dinner, Greggy hooked up the Cable and all was good for the night.

Tomorrow morning, we'll get on a shuttle bus and see the big hole in the ground that everyone talks about... No doubt more pics to view.. I might even see if I can work out how to get the video camera uploaded.. then you can all view the hole in the ground !

So.. from T-Shirts to Winter jackets and gloves.. all in about 4-5 hours of driving time.. how bizaare !

Speak to you tomorrow after the Grand Canyon !

Ok, firstly, a few things: 1) You cooked dinner??? What the? 2) Why does Glenn have enough time to sign up for your blog, but not enough time to send me his Visa statements?? 3) I haven't seen any terror warnings on the news from the US. Does the government not realise you're there yet? 4) Is Greggy still finding time for his nana naps? (If so, I suggest not letting him sleep when you're close to snow covered mountains - he could cause a land-slide!!) 5) Tell Greggy that the Fev got hit by a tram whilst pissing in public again, and Juddy got impaled by his stick-figure girlfriend during sexy times. Both are out for next season - sorry Greggy :) Ok, I think that's it. I've now signed up, read everything up to date, and said my piece. Sounds like you're having a blast. Let the journey continue... Love Junior :)

Oh Junior.. you're the light of my day! You do realise that Greggy still visits the Carlton website each and every day.. (what else is he going to do when he's not driving or dribbling)? - Hey.. we thought we'd run into the Collingwood Players.. they were in Flagstaff three days after us on their annual high altitude training.. we thought we'd see if we could stage an 'accident' with the bus.. ahhh well.. what's three days? Probably a lot if its the monthly cycle huh ! Bwaahaaaaaa
