Day 2 at the Grand Canyon....

Nice peaceful night sleeping in the tent... as compared to the hotel where we stayed in Flagstaff. This morning, two mule deer walked right by our tent- just passing thru!!! Here they are:
Jazzy finished her Raven Ranger Badge requirements today. We had to fill out a little book, making observations about different types of rocks, colors in the Grand Canyon, all of the animals we saw... lots of elk, ravens, chipmunks, lizards.... Then write a haiku poem, which I had forgotten was 5/7/5 syllables for each line: Here is Jazzy's: "Once upon a time, A Raven landed in the trash, and tore it all up.". This was referring to a huge raven that raided our neighbors trash and spread it all over their campsite. Then we had to go to Ranger Storytime-- where the Ranger read several books to the little Raven candidates. Lunch at Bright Angel Lodge:
Watching some Native American Hoop Dancers at the Hopi Center:
