Grand Canyon Day 2- May 7th






















Today was all about Wildlife Day at the park. We slept in a bit and had a nice big breakfast after. Then we left early to go to Shrine of the Ages for the 10am ranger show on reptiles in the park. After that, the girls received their Jr. Ranger badges. They had a lot of booths for wildlife day… the girls got their face painted (Leah insisted on getting her entire face as a wolf while I begged her to get the delicate butterfly!), we saw live animals in 1 display like the owl, eagle and lots of other critters. Noah and Tim caught another show on mountain lions and then we went back to camp for lunch. Then it was back to Shrine of the ages to see Jack Hanna! Tim and I got in line while the kids took in a show on wacky wildlife. Then we all went inside for Jack Hanna's presentation. It was a lot of fun! He had some interesting animals and had some good bear stories. After that it was back to the camp for dinner and hanging out (and a nap!). Tim and I went for a run along the rim of the Canyon that evening… what a view that was! Then it was time for campfire and smores again! Early to bed tonight… tomorrow we are hiking!
