The kids were in 4th grade. We were just starting to home school. I had a couple of of days I could take from work so we said, lets go to the grand canyon. We lived in Arizona at the time so it wasn't a long road trip so we loaded everyone up on the car and headed out. We hiked around and took photos. K started a little notebook to take notes of everything she saw including the squirrel who scolded us for walking down the path. She also had to have the ranger hat to make it official. C wanted the environmentally themed comic book.
There was just a little snow on the side of the path that the kids played in. It was a big deal because they had not seen much snow. Growing up in the north, my wife and I tried not to scoff at the 5 foot square patch of snow because the kids were having such a good time with it.
