A litttle trip....

A quick trip down memory lane.....I don't know why this happens but every single year around this time I get so behind---it might have something to do with my kids all being home and no time on the computer  (I know it's an excuse but I think it is a good one!)  Anyways--there are a couple of things I want to document so sorry it's old news!

I got to go with Carlee and the 6th grade to the Grand Canyon!  We had such a great time and I was glad I had the time to spend with just Carlee (and 4 other girls) haha!  I haven't been to the Grand Canyon since I was little and I'm ashamed to say but I don't think we have taken our kids there either.  (okay...I'm pretty sure we haven't!) 

It is beautiful!  (and so is Carlee!)
We got to go to the watch tower that has an amazing view of the Grand Canyon after we had hiked around a little (my kind of hike!)


The next day we got up early and went on a raft ride down the Colorado River.  We started right at the base of the Glen Canyon Dam and then floated down for about 2 1/2 hours.  Carlee and I were a little disappointed we didn't get to go down any white rapids but it was beautiful scenery and very interesting listening to our guide. 


This was how the girls all sat on the pontoon (I think that's want it is called) boat.  It was pretty hot in places and the girls could get their feet wet to cool them off.  After the boat ride we loaded back on the buses and made the trip home.  It really was a lot of fun and I am very grateful for a daughter like Carlee!

Don't feel bad about being behind. I posted last day of school pictures from May on the first day of school this week. I still have all of summer activities to write about before I can post this years first day of school pics. I also love how Carley has graduated to the big girls picture. She is beautiful. What is Casey doing now?
