We started the trip on Friday
night, the 20th of October, and headed for Kingman, Arizona. This way we
could arrive on Saturday, at the Grand Canyon, at a reasonable hour. We
made it to Seligman. We hit the road early to get to Williams, Arizona, to
show Jacob the train which runs from Williams to the Grand Canyon.
| This was Jacob
and his first train of the trip. It was early morning and I do not
believe he was fully awake (notice gazed stare). |
|
| This was
the first Steam engine and second train for the trip (also more awake). |
|
| Jacob figured
out early that it was his responsibility to be the Tour Guide and leader
for all activities of this vacation.
We towed the line. |
|
| He also was in charge
of honking the horns and keeping an eye on Grandpa's driving. |
|
| Notice
the tight grip which Jacob has on Jun. The jokes about tossing
Jacob in the canyon may affect him for life.
The clouds made for a neat
effect on the colors of the canyon. |
|
|
Still, a
tight grip on Dad!
Is he cute, or what! |
|
| Honest
Jacob, Grandpa will NOT throw you in the canyon.
Since the trip, Jacob has
been going to counseling and it seems to be helping.
|
|
| Jacob was so
impressed with the Grand Canyon, that he plans on digging a replica in
his backyard soon.
His only concern is that
his dog may damage it. |
|
| If you
look closely you can see the trails which are miles away. |
|
| We walked
a few blocks into the canyon. Jacob seemed very good about not
walking on the edge of the trail.
Seems he now has a little
fear of heights.
No idea where that came
from. |
|
| One of the
sights on the trail.
Jacob was totally jazzed
by seeing this ram at such a close range! |
|
| Beautiful! |
|
| About
ready to say goodbye to the Grand Canyon.
Jacob's arms were getting
very tired from hanging on all day. |
|
| He always
keeps an eye on the canyon. |
|
It was now time to
head for the next leg of the trip....... Lake Powell and Rainbow Bridge!
