After our travels in Europe and the UK this past summer we finally moved back to the USA! We spent the 4th of July at an Indianapolis Indians baseball game, watched fireworks and cooked out in 102 temperatures. The weather didn't matter. We were just happy to be back.
Then we decided to see some of the beauty the United States has to offer. Bob had to be in Las Vegas for business so we tagged along. I think we only have a few pictures of Vegas but we did have a good time. Nana and Papa came along too. The girls went on a date with Papa to see Circ du Sole. I have a cute picture of them which I will have to post later.
The Grand Canyon is so close to Las Vegas so we rented a car and spent a long weekend viewing the entire area including Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon National Park. It was a wonderful experience and I am so glad all 5 of us got to see it together.
This is us after a very hard 5 mile hike. We started at sunrise from the El Tovar Lodge and walked along the rim of the Canyon. The national park has really provided a beautiful area for the public to view this natural wonder.

We were also lucky enough to view the Grand Canyon from a helicopter.

Hello- that looks like a very fun trip. The Grand Canyon is really amazing, isn't it? I am not brave enough to tour by helicopter though.
