OUR FAMILY TRIP TO THE GRAND CANYON!!

While Dad tries to clean and organize the car...

Mom is getting flustered with the lack of organization...

...a bigger mess is being made inside!!

...but pauses briefly to put on a smile.

TJ is ready to go!...

...but Sean is lagging behind.

...and so is sexy Mandy...

Brandon is wondering why he married into this family! Is Jamie really worth it?...

...Two thumbs up!! Of course she is!!

Who wouldn't want a Nicholes girl?!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Car rides are a blast!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Enjoying a quick bite to eat at Taco Bell. I feel bad for who ever gets to share a bed with T.J.

A fun night at the Best Western watching Home Improvement...

... but Brandon and Dad would rather watch sports.

I guess it's finally bedtime--Dad has his pockets emptied.

Good night snugs!

Poor Mandy is on the floor.

THE NEXT DAY...

Don't poke your eye out!

Look!! Dad's not wearing shoes! We've never seen that before!

I don't want to be mistaken for a mule!

Hurray! Free food!!

At the canyon...

We're here!! Let's rock and roll!

Thanks for the cool gear mom!

Sibs

Sisters!

Loading the bus to drive to the starting line.

"Hey mom!!!!"


"Don't you dare!"

WAIT FOR ME!!!

Oh my word!

Sure wish Christian were here!

Playing it safe.

STRETCH!!

Stretching is for losers!!

The patriarch and matriarch

A view of the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon.

It's getting darker! Where are mom and dad?

We all made it to Phantom Ranch!!!
















Our fearless leader--Uncle Craig

Hurray for beef stew!!! But where is the steak dinner??
