Crazy Squirrel!


This squirrel was so comfortable with humans that he hung out in the middle of a group of people during the "Ranger Talk". He really wanted inside of my bag, but there was not even any food in there! I guess so many people do feed the wildlife that they are less wild, but still dangerous if they bite you. Just remember to "keep wildlife wild"!

We visited the South Rim for the morning, but just stayed on the upper rim trail for this trip.

Junior Rangers in the Canyons

Raven & Luke completed 3 Junior Rangers and a Junior Scientist while on this vacation. We have 2 others to finish and mail in for a total of 6 awards and great learning experiences for Raven & Luke.

As a matter of fact, Raven was able to get a "Raven Award" from the Grand Canyon. Technically, she and Luke are both the age for the "Coyote Award", but I talked the manager in to letting us purchase the "Raven Award" specifically. (The clerk was not going to let me have it)

We had the pleasure of listening to Mr Howell give a Ranger talk on the formation of the Grand Canyon. Raven & Luke truly learned a lot from him! (JB & I did too)

Pirate Show & Human Statue

The pirate show is just not the same. I suppose TI (Treasure Island) had to go the way of the strip. Not particularly family oriented.
