Finally we come to the Grand Canyon. Really this part of the vacation was much earlier, but I went about writing them up in no particular order. Uncle Ryan treated us to a train ride to the Grand Canyon. We caught the train in Williams, Arizona. If you drive straight to the Canyon from Williams it will take you about an hour... the train takes two. Which sounds kind of silly, but the train trip was half the fun. The kids had never been on a train before (they were very quick to tell me the the subway doesn't count) so they were really excited about it. The train company really plays everything up with an old west show and a very hokey train robbery on the way back.
Chloe poses with one of the actors and his horse. Alexa was too afraid to go meet him. Later Chloe offered this man a Cheeze It while he was "robbing" the train.
I found this sign funny. It was outside the station on the other side of the tracks.
Aunt Andrea would pose at the set. I was trying to get the kids to but no luck.
Alexa is wide eyed as the train starts off.
Chloe and Alexa at the Canyon. It was really windy!
Uncle Ryan amused the girls with a wrestling match while we waited for our table in the restruant for lunch.
