More than once, Meira's cousin Trenton was mistaken for a brother. They were two peas in a pod. Meira wanted to be carried everywhere with "Tenten." Daddy was throwing her in the air.

Meira liked floating on her back. After a while with Papa she was floating with only her head being supported.

This is the beautiful Grand Canyon. We walked about 2 miles along the edge of the canyon and the pictures hardly show how magnificent it looked. Nana and Papa standing just close enough to the edge so that Nana still felt safe. :-)
Meira really enjoyed the Grand Canyon too.

I always say that great vacations have great bubble baths. Meira and I both enjoyed bubble baths on the trip, but I thought that pictures of Meira would be a lot more cute. :-)

Aunt Lesli and Meira settling down for a morning nap.

The camel is so cute with his big droopy lip. The tigers were gorgeous. One of the baby zebras was born the day that we visited. The ostrich was a little bit creepy because he followed the bus and stared in at everyone. The driver told everyone to watch their cameras because the ostrich had been known to gulp them down in one quick grab from photographers who were too close up. :-)

Yes, this is a giraffe's tongue. Their tongues can get up to 18 inches long! Passengers on the bus could feed them carrots. I never got to, but it was cool to see so close.

The yawn and map in hand tell you that Meira is tired of traveling and ready to be home. Upon arrival Meira squealed and giggled when she saw her toys and familiar surroundings. She was the best little traveler though.
