We played a game of chess…which I lost, although I am getting better…and then we went to bed. The next day Eliza and her friend Mark drove out from Arizona to camp with us. We hiked down into the canyon a ways, all got lots of sun, and had a great time. After the hike we had ice cream cones, then headed back to the campsite to roast some hot dogs. This time Jared started the fire (also with just one match and no paper)! We finished dinner just before the sun set, and went back to the lookout to watch the sunset again. The Grand Canyon is so beautiful! Here are some more pictures that we took!

It looks like you had a great time! You're pictures of the canyon are so amazing!
That looks so fun! It looks so beautiful in the pictures, although I'm sure it doesn't come close to capturing the magnificence of it at all!
I didn't realize till now that you had posted these great photos and write-up about your trip. We'll do it with you next year! (See if Ducky can still do no paper-one match fires too).
