Vacation Pictures: Grand Canyon (again)

This is the third time we've hiked into the Grand Canyon - and the second time Rim to Rim.

Here are some pictures:

The day before the hike

Dinner at the North Rim

The sun is coming up 

More sunshine on the way 

Sun is almost up 

You can't take a bad picture here 

Our waterfall lunch break 

It was so pretty 

The shadow picture 

The scenery - always beautiful 

Another view - around the bend 

My Beat up Books

The steps for the first day of hiking 

The hike was hard, but we did it. And I feel accomplished.

We had a nice long weekend in Florida

We went to a Tea at Cake Bake

The decor was amazing:

They welcomed you with this:

The tiers:

A tea cake

It was so much fun! 

We had a great time. 

The tea was excellent and the treats were delicious. 

We also went to Blue Spring State Park where we saw a bunch of manatees. 

It was so nice to be in the sunshine again.

This is the third and last photo post of our trip in September.

This post is the pictures are hiking at Glacier National Park and Banff National Park.

Here we are resting as we visit friends near Seattle:

Just a baby Wallaby - we went to a Wallaby and Kangaroo farm where we learned so much about the babies 

This female kangaroo reminded me of Knightley

A lovely cherry pie! 

We visited the Kataluna Horse Rescue Farm and I brushed this pretty horse

Look how beautiful!

Some more horses on the farm

More horses

Me and Rylee! My pup away from home.

Vacation Photos: Banff

Just a few pictures of Banff National Park in Canda.

It's hard to take a bad picture here. 

Lake Moraine - yes the water really is that amazing color. 

Lake Louise 

Lake Louise from a hike

Lake Agnes

Always with a good book!

The water was super clear

The sun as it was setting 

Waterfall at Johnson Canyon 

Just a little waterfall at Johnson Canyon

The view at the Inkpots at Johnson Canyon

The Inkpots - these were super cool to see and the pictures do NOT do them justice.

The water is bubbling up

magical - there is ice on the top of the water

Of course we found the library

On the road to Jasper - another glacier lake. This was probably the prettiest road I've ever been on. There was so much to see and so many stops to make.

A lovely river - worth the short hike down and up again

You can see this glacier from the side of the road

Another waterfall - the lower falls

The start from that waterfall

View from the road

Just impressive
