Well, I really want to go to the Grand Canyon.
Okay!
Wednesday evening, after only one middle school kid showed up for youth group, we pondered our weekend plans. The three of us (the fourth intern's family was visiting), decided to camp at the Grand Canyon. We booked a campsite, planned our route, figured out costs, and borrowed a couple tents. We worked hard Thursday and finished some tasks on Friday morning. We left at about 11:00am. It's an 8 hour drive. We drove to our convenient halfway location, The Four Corners. We had a quick lunch, took some photos of ourselves in four places at once, and continued our journey.
We arrived early Friday evening to our campsite. We set up our tents, had some dinner and walked over to the nearest canyon lookout point to see the sunset over the Grand Canyon.
We planned to wake up at 7 the next morning, pack up, eat breakfast, hike through the morning and head out. After a rough nights sleep we packed up and ate and headed over to the tourist shop. Upon our arrival and finding that the shop hadn't opened yet, another visitor kindly informed us that Arizona does not participate in Daylight Savings Time, and that it was only 7:30. We had woken up at 6am. So we looked around, then returned and bought some postcards and headed out to hike. We drove to a different lookout point, hopped the fence and hiked down some rocks that had what could have been trails.
After a quick snack, we hiked back up, and hit the road. It was a quick trip, but one of the most amazin things I've ever seen. I'd go back and hike longer in a heartbeat.

Hi friend:) I must say that I miss you a lot, but I am so happy you are having so many awesome adventures! It's definitely much quieter around here without you... Did you go to the North side of the Grand Canyon? It is so beautiful, and it's so awesome you were able to go! I'm praying for you, God has you right where He wants you:) Love!
