Grand Canyon

On Easter Sunday, we took a trip to the Grand Canyon to make maximum use of our annual national park pass. The canyon itself was absolutely massive, you can't even get your head round how big it is! It is really beautiful though and at points we had good views of the Colorado River which was a nice turquoise blue. We even went to extreme lengths to get the best pictures, sometimes inching near certain death perching ourselves over the edge. Hardcore I know. We also met some more interesting wildilfe, in the form of ladybirds and 'bullet' bugs that aim straight for the eyes and attach themselves to every nook and cranny. Kate took precautions with her sunglasses, but I left myself vulnerable which resulted in 2 'bug eyes', a lot of eye watering, but the bullets did get Kate too, and I saw some dodgy rummaging around in her clothes to remove the problem!
