There is too much – so I’ll sum up.
In pictures.
Snow Canyon is just minutes away from “home base” – aka Gramma and Grampa’s house.

Mermaids can be seen in the pool.

Even the cactus are fooled by the weather – blooming 6 weeks early.

Mermaids swam so much their toes fins bled.

Bison were introduced to the area near The Grand Canyon in the early 1900’s. (http://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectId=49574)

North rim of The Grand Canyon, and four rims of sunglasses.

Snow Canyon by bike.

[[a lot of biking ensued here – to be covered in a different post]]
The beauties attend a play at Tuacan.

“No spittin’ no cussin’ and no loose woman” [sic] in Calico Ghost Town.

WTH?! Bears in Sequoia Nat’l Park! We saw 4 in 5 hours. This one was eating the fruits of a tree a safe 30 feet from us.

And a Marmot (with a Sequoia backdrop) in the park.

Some BIG trees.

If you made it this far, we had a great time, came home too early, already miss some of the friends and family we got to visit, and are far too busy getting ready for school and back to work to want to do too much else besides crash on the couch – all signs of a good vacation.
Looks like lots of fun!
