The Grand Canyon Isn't So Grand

Sunday: We awoke to clouds, but no rain. The wind died down at dusk (thankfully) and remained settled today. I made oatmeal (GF!) promptly, but the Nelson's offered a train of tasty bacon, eggs and fry toast to follow. Does that count as second breakfast?

After they packed up camp, we all headed to the Grand Canyon where we stopped at Grandview Point and had a quick tailgate lunch. Amazing. Victoria is claiming she's unimpressed, but I don't buy it. She's just pushing Dad's buttons. :) Isobelle was most looking forward to this, and seemed to think it's neat. The Nelson's "peeled off" at the second overlook, with a quick, sad goodbye (for my part surely.)

We traveled to the Yaki Point entry and took it by foot. We cut across rather than going all the way down. the little path through the wodds we took back offered many purple lupines, among many other cool things. At the Visitors Center, I saw a humming bird. Not a good look (to tell which kind) but a clear, lengthy sighting. More deer on the side of the road - but these were fuzzy-antlered Grand Canyon deer, eating flowers off the shrubs.

It's a tired bunch in the car now. We're going to drive through Williams on the way back to camp to check it out.
