The Grand Canyon & Joshua Tree Forest

Yes, we did it. We did the Sky Walk and stood 4,000 feet above the canyon with nothing but clear glass beneath us! It was AMAZING!!! In a crazy, scary and surreal sort of way....
The name Joshua tree was given by a group of Latter Day Saints who crossed the Mojave Desert in the mid-19th century. The tree's unique shape reminded them of a Biblical story in which Joshua reaches his hands up to the sky to stop the sun by God's command. Bet you never knew that! :)
On the way to the Grand Canyon...all three girls on the bus in the very back seat....TROUBLE!! :-)
Don't do it dad!! Don't Jump!! It's a LONG way down!

A beautiful couple with a beautiful backdrop.
Goofing around with mom.
Smile, we're on what used to be the bottom of the ocean!
A view of the Grand Canyon West Rim (Guano Point). It really puts life into perspective about how small we really are. LOL
Dad taking it all in....
