Sand sledding

Yesterday we rented sand sleds and sand boards. Then we went to the Great Sand Dunes. We found nice sand slopes to sled and sand board down. We got sand blasted cause of all the wind. Then we went home and had lunch. Then we flew our kites in the dunes because of the wind. Then we went to the Visitor Center. It was cool. Then we went home, had dinner, and opened presents. Then we went to an astronomy program. We saw Saturn and its rings. Then we went to bed.

Just hangin' out in four states at once

Two days ago we left Mesa Verde. We went to Four Corners. Four Corners is where four states with square corners meet in the same spot. Grandma got me a ring and got Nick an arrowhead. Then we drove to Mt. Carmel Junction. Then we played two games of Cover Your A$$ets and went to bed.

Bryce Canyon

Yesterday we went to Bryce Canyon. We saw really cool rock formations. We saw lots of Hoodoos. Hoodoos are walls that erode into spires that have erosion resistant tops. We saw mossy cave and Bryce Point. Then we went home and had dinner and went to bed.

Having so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa at Bryce Canyon!

Grand Canyon with Grandma

Yesterday we drove to the laundry mat. Then we drove to the next campground and lodge. Then we went to the Visitor Center and did the geology talk. It was okay. We learned that the very bottom rocks are missing and old. Then we went on a short hike. We could see the south rim. Then we saw the big ditch where the Colorado River was but did not see the Colorado River. Then on the way home we saw lots of mule deer. Then we had dinner.

Yesterday we had breakfast at the lodge. Then we went to all kinds of lookouts. Some of them you could see the Colorado River. Others you could see a river bed. And all of them you could see a canyon. We hiked in a canyon and went trailing. Then we had dinner at a restaurant. We also had dessert at the camper and went to bed really late.

We made Grandpa especially
nervous with our rock climbing

Grand Canyon hike

Two days ago we dropped our camper off at a shop. Then we dropped our bags off at the hotel. Then we went to the Hoover Dam. We drove, walked and ran over it. Then we went back to the hotel and watched the Packer game and swam. Then we had pizza and swam again.

Yesterday we dropped Grandma and Grandpa off at the airport. Then we swam for a while. Then we had lunch. I didn’t like it. Then we went to the Valley of Fire Visitor Center. We watched two videos that were interesting. One video had a gecko doing yoga! Then we picked up the camper and parked in a pull off and went to bed.
