Family
We traveled down to the Grand Canyon this week to spend time with Chris's parents, brother, and their foreign exchange student. There was a package deal to get a train ride into the canyon for a discount when buying a hotel room so we took advantage of the deal to join in the adventure. I feel like we got a lot of 'looks' because each of us had a young child attached to us and we were hiking...I definitely didn't see any other young children there.
Claire
She had so much fun spending time with grandma, grandpa, and her uncle, but her favorite person to be held by was their foreign exchange student. It was mostly likely because Claire likes to be held and she had no problems holding her constantly and playing songs and videos on her phone. For Chris and I, it was nice to have people around to play with her while we got to enjoy the trip, at least when we weren't driving. With all the driving we did, I'm surprised Claire did so well with how much she prefers to run around and not be sitting. We broke up the days we drove and made it about 4 hours a day both down and back so she only had to be sitting for about 2 hours at a time with the breaks we took. Enjoy her fun dancing videos!
Shay
I got a lot of comments about Shay as I carried her in my Boba wrap around stores, on the trail at the Grand Canyon, and everywhere else. Not only were there many women who ogled how precious she was, there were comments about why I was hiking only 4 weeks after having a baby. Shay loved riding all cuddled next to me like a baby kangaroo in a pouch and was able to sleep soundly as we hiked the south rim Trail of Time. I moved a lot slower than the main group but I enjoyed the leisurely walk with Chris and it reminded me of the times we used to take Sunday afternoon walks. I'm hoping we can start them up again soon now that the weather is getting better.
Train
Our trip into the Grand Canyon was on a train from our hotel and we enjoyed the 'wild west' entertainment they had to offer. Claire didn't like having to stay in our laps but danced in the aisle when the singing cowboys came out which everyone enjoyed. We are lucky she is so cute and can get away with things like that.
Matching
If you know anything about me, you know I got outfits together that were of my girls matching while we were on this trip. I even rolled them all together when I packed so I could take them all out at once when we were getting ready in the morning. I was tempted to make Chris wear a pink shirt with us, but I didn't want it to get ruined some how...he only has one. There were other days we wore the same color too but somehow I didn't get pictures because we were mostly traveling in the car and not doing fun things.
