Vacation








Well... I just got back from the coolest vacation ever. I scrubbed of an inch of muck. We went to the Bryce Canyon which isn't a real canyon because there isn't a river in the bottom. I know this stuff from my Jr. ranger. It's a program for little kid (11 and under) to learn about the parks. In my opion the Bryce Canyon was the coolest looking. Then we went to Zion. There we stayed for two days. There we did a couple hikes. The first one was an easy mile. It went to the river. At the river there were squirrels. Micah was so scared of them. Let's just say there was terror in his eyes when Hayden yelled there was a squirrel behind him. After that day we went on a hike called Angle's landing. After I finished it I think it should of been Angle's Falling. For the hike you had to hike two hole miles up hill with about twenty swicth backs. After that we had to do the real thing which was half a mile of straight up and across a sand mountain. It was straight down drop so my Dad tried Micah to him. The was a couple of parts the gave me the butterflys in my stomach, after all it was only a 1200 drop on both sides with the path only four feet wide. The worst thing about the hike was the wind. Not enough to blow you off but just enough to scare you a lot. Zions won the award for best hike. Then we went to the Grand Canyon. That is were we went to meet up with Aunt Emily and Uncle Rob. I got to play with Caleb and all that sort of stuff. The day before we left Tucker found a little wood beetle. He never let go of it and it never flew away. That night Tucker slept with it in his hand. In the morning he was super mad at himself and was even hitting himself. Yep you guessed it he crushed the bug. We told him it went to start a family and he said " I thought I crushed it though." We'll that was about it.
