Anniversary Trip to the Grand Canyon

On August 11 we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary! The 11th was on Tuesday and we went to lunch at Pizza Factory (YUM!) and rented a movie that night so nothing huge, but we had plans that weekend for a small trip. Saturday we left Lexie with Grandma & Grandpa Hoyt and family for our first night away from Lexie since she was born a year ago. I was a bit nervous, but she did great and even slept about 11 hours that night...something she rarely does for us at home! We headed to the Grand Canyon since it was free fee weekend for the national parks. Bryan couldn't remember ever going there and I haven't been in something like 12 years so it was fun to go back. Here are a few pictures from our day at Grand Canyon (North Rim).
Enjoying the views
More scenery. You can see the smoke of a big fire blazing in the park.
After enjoying the views and hiking for a couple hours, we headed back to Kanab and had a delicious dinner at Houston's topped off with a famous (and huge) piece of coconut-cream pie. We were stuffed but it was worth it! We then camped out that night at my Grandparents' ranch in their trailor. We had a really fun trip and thank my parents for watching Lexie for us! Three years down...eternity to go!

Pizza Factory and the Grand Canyon says a fabulous anniversary to me. I'm so impressed you left Lexie overnight. I still haven't done that yet. 8 hours during the day with Colette was the longest.
