Once we found our spot, we took some photos.
This was the image of the congregation. Therewere many more people around and up the sides.

We walked around a bit to get some other views.
The kiddos were getting a little tired and cold.
Kenny and I had been to Grand Canyon once before with my Mom and Jamie (years ago). We really wanted the kiddos to get to see it! So, for my 40th b-day; we thought that a trip to Flagstaff/Grand Canyon would be awesome (and it was)! My b-day fell on Easter this year. I really wanted to experience the Sunrise Service at the Grand Canyon on Easter Sunday. In order to do this, we had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to leave by 4:00. We got there right at 5:30, and the service began right as we got up to Mather Point (I think that is the name of it). It was wonderful! I rushed through the crowd to get to the railing! I needed to hang on and take a good look. It was so amazing! The kiddos didn't believe it was real. It was hard to concentrate on the service, because I was snapping pictures, watching the sun come up over the ridge, and just standing in AWE of all we saw. There were times when it looked like God was talking down on us. I was truly a remarkable scene, and I am so glad that we could be there to see it. It was a great Easter and a fabulous birthday.
