My Trip to the Grand Canyon by Aubry

Last Wednesday I went to the Grand Canyon with, of course, my dad! It was sooooooooooooooo beautiful. We hiked the Brighty Angel Trail. Luckily it was only 1 1/2 miles down. (my dad would totally have made me go all the way down & back up if it were not a .........FIELD TRIP!) It was very peaceful.
We decided to see how many peeps from different places came to see the Grand Canyon. My favorite peeps were from Paris & China. sick! When we got back up it was a tradition to get ICE CREAM! My dad was so happy I got 2 scoops. To keep it balanced they gave me a bowl. So i put my ice cream in my bowl while i waited for dad. When he came out i took my cone out of the bowl, set it down & went to look at the canyon. When i turned around i saw a squirrel licking out of my bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeepers creepers!!!!!!!!!!! I picked up the bowl sat down & the squirrel comes on my lap. I pick up the bowl again. Just try to have a squirrel on YOUR lap staring at YOUR ice cream bowl when you just read a sign saying they will attack you. They have really bad bite that you would have to have rabies shots after. Not so cute any more (but the guy i liked was sitting right next to me so i had to keep cool) then we went to go see some boring artifacts that public cant see. We had a great time!

Whiskey Row Marathon

Saturday, with little to no training, Jonathan ran the half at the Whiskey Row Marathon. He ran with his best friends ChaseBeazer. Or as Daphne prefers to call him BaseCheazer. (there is no space between his first and last name on purpose)
Jonathan came in 2nd (as in 1st Loser for all you Grant fans) for his age group and 25th overall. His time was 1:43 minutes. He ROCKS! Personally I think that if you give birth to a kid that is this athletic there ought to be some benefit to you. Like a "downline" in a multi level marketing business. Shouldn't I get like 15-20% of all his calories burned? Heck..I'd settle for 5% the way this kid works outs.
