A big hole and heart failure

I know I'm not the bravest person, but the Grand Canyon really had me rattled! When you see my pictures of what my darling husband did with my precious children you will know why! We had a grand time at the canyon today! The girls completely loved it, and every one of them would have cheerfully hiked (down, down, down), I don't know how cheerful up would have been. Tia was almost chomping at the bit to hike - she was scheming how to climb over/under fences/guard rails - she wanted the true, natural, dangerous experience. Madie wanted to get out from my firm grip of her hand, and even Anika, faced with steep stone 'steps' leading down at an alarming angle with nothing to catch her little body was trying to pry out of my hand as she stated, "I think I'll do this part myself." The Grand Canyon itself was an amazing thing to see, when I could drag my eyes off what my children were doing. Its vastness cannot be captured by a photo! I was truly grateful to be there and see it for myself, and to wonder at God's awesome creation! It was very cool! On our way to the Canyon we drove through a scenic drive where we saw volcanic rocks from an old volcano that last erupted 900 years ago!! It was amazing to see that things have fairly recently begun to grow again! The landscape is totally different, forever changed, yet recovering now after all these years! There was also some ruins of a pueblo (village) - there was one we walked through, it was great - so neat! The kids loved the little baby lizard they spotted on the way up!
