=__//**Grand Canyon Hike(day one):**//__= We arrived at the Grand Canyon. Everyone was exciting about what we would see down in the canyon. We left the bus for about 3 hours. We followed our tour guide down the canyon. She stopped a couple of times to tell us about the plants and animals that lived in the Grand Canyon. We finally got to the mile and a half stop and took a break to rest and eat snacks. After that we hustled back up the canyon and were the first ones to get bnack to the top. As we waited for the other at the top we took in the nice veiws of teh canyon. When everyone got up we walked over to the diner cafateria and ate. After we finished we headed for Sunset Crater and watched the sun go down. After this we got back on the bus and drove to Page, Arizona where our hotel was located. Day one complete. =Day One Pictures:=

= = =River Rafting Trip(day two):= We woke up at the hotel and packed up our stuff and took a bus ride for 30 minutes. We got to the docks where the boats were waiting for us. We got on the boats and said goodbye to the dam. After we were about 20 minutes out where we started our tour guide told us many facts about the canyon and how it was formed. We also learned about how John Wesley Powell rafted the Colorado river. After the tour guide we got to get wet in the frezzing water. I got wet while Robbie watched in tormation.He thought I was crazy like I am. I finally got out and we all got a nice cold cup of lemanade. We all had to get out of the boat and get clean close on because we were getting back on the bus. We left and headed for Wapuki National Park. We learned about how they lived and what they ate. They had arenas for sports and speeking halls. They even had out door air conditioning vent. After that we headed home form a awesome adventure out on the Grand Canyon.
