life in alaska

Well here are some pictures - just of the Grand Canyon so far. I think I took something like 600 pictures of this trip. A little camera-happy, even for me. One Emmie-ism that sticks in my mind is when we had been driving around Santa Clarita with Jeff and I reminiscing. To Emmie it must have sounded like this "this is where we blah-blah-blah" and "oh we used to blah-blah-blah here" and she finally piped up "Dad, why are all the stories just about you? I wanna hear a story about plumpy the elephant!" But we've never heard of "plumpy the elephant" - she just made that up.

More pics tomorrow (or whenever I get there)
