The Grand Canyon!!

This past week I went on a vacation with my parents and aunt Cindy. We drove to the Grand Canyon! It was probably the longest drive of my life! But totally worth it!! :) We stayed at the Grand Canyon Inn and our shower had no water pressure. I tried to move the shower head up and it just fell right back down it wasn't the best showering place, but I didn't have to make the bed, that was the best part!!! They had beautiful sunsets there. The moon came out when it was still light I love it when that happens, that is probably my most favorite thing to look at:) The reason we went there is because Tanner works at Maverik and he does Helicopter tours! It was so amazing!!!! we were in the helicopter just flying away and all you could see were trees and then all of a sudden it dropped and the Grand Canyon was right underneath us. I couldn't believe it, it was so amazing!!! Tanner showed us this river that was turquoise. It was pretty cool i guess it isn't turquoise for very long so we were pretty lucky to be able to see it. Also the best part I turned off the helicopter, it was just a push of the button but I still did it!!:) I almost got eaten by a bear while I was there too, it was pretty scary! Then on the 4th of July Dad Val Wes and Trav ran in the 5K I was so proud of them, they all did very well!!:) Good Job guys, to bad I had to work:) But I did have time to stay for some of the parade and Canyon wasn't very happy about it, Kayli liked it and Erin was pretty excited too!:) Mom always enjoys the parade and Oaklee is okay with anything. Derek was able to catch up with an old friend, so I decided that no matter how boring the Tooele parade can be you can always take something good out of it, even if it is just exersice:)
