On the Road!

 Spending time with my grandparents was great. We tried to go swimming in their pool but the water was way too cold for me - my sister was able to, though. Kiska (our chocolate lab) had lots of fun in the sun... she just loves the water as well! I also went to my uncle Brady and aunt Danielle's house and we went swimming there as well (the pool was a lot warmer)! Leaving was very hard... I wish I could stay but then what is the point of a road trip if you're not driving on the road? The Grand Canyon was-once again-beautiful with the amazing views and the leisurely hikes down into the canyon. Sadly Kiska can't come on the hikes in the Grand Canyon but she is having lots of fun at the campground!

It was hard to leave our grandparents house because we were having so much fun! We went to a railroad park and got to ride on a mini train and that was a really cool experience! I went swimming in my grandparents' cold pool on a super hot 90º day with my new mermaid tail that I got for my birthday! Life feels so great on a trip when you are just laying in the warm sun... I wish every day could be like this. My Grandma and Grandpa have so many bowls of candy and chocolate around their house.  My favorite candies would probably be Reeces Peanut Butter Cups, Jelly Beans, Root Beer Barrels, Peanut Butter M&M's, and Malted Balls! We also visited our Aunt and Uncle and their three adorable puppies that were super tiny.

To be honest, I am mostly excited to get on the road and start driving with my chocolate lab who loves to snuggle up on you. She is super sweet when she is tired so I cannot wait to be with her. The picture up above is a photo that my Grandma took of me, Lars, and Kiska in the the back seat as we were driving out of her driveway... we put sun glasses on her that looked hilarious!!!
