Wednesday June 27, 2012 

This morning we had breakfast with Roger, Leta, Julie, Erin, Olivia and Abby.  We then packed up and it was time to leave the grand canyon.  The last four days has been quite an adventure for all of us.  It is an experience we all will remember and it was great to get to spend time with my niece and great-nieces.  But we headed to Flagstaff and Roger & Leta headed back to KS.

 Lester & I will be in Flagstaff for a few days.  We have an appointment Friday morning to have our motorhome checked out.  We are having carburetor problems again and want to get to the bottom of the issue.  We are in an RV park until Friday and hopefully it wont be too serious a problem and we can be on our way again Friday afternoon or Saturday.

From here we are planning on going to southern CA and working our way back up to WA.  Can't believe we have been gone since May 11.  Below are some more pictures of our last day at the grand canyon.


We caught the shuttle to the grand canyon just outside our campsite.  We are waiting for the shuttle on Tuesday morning and Erin, Olivia and Abby decided to catch some z's while waiting for the shuttle.  Guess it was to early for them.
Olivia & Erin wanted to climb this tree which was right on the edge of the canyon.  Grandpa was pretty close to the edge and we had to call them back. 
Here we are overlooking the canyon. 
The view is just spectacular from every angle you look over the canyon.
This is the rapids on the Colorado River.  Lester was able to zoom in and get a good picture.  The canyon is one mile deep.
The Colorado River again.
We thought we saw some boats coming out of the rapids.
