Hiking the Grand Canyon

We went on a hike in the Grand Canyon. I took 3 bottles of water and drank 1 on the way down. I filled it at the first water hole and drank all three on the way up. There were ground squirrels that were really annoying. You aren’t supposed to feed them, but people do. It was 1.3 miles to the first water hole, and it took about an hour to get down. It didn’t seem like it though. It took about 2 hours to get back out. After that we went to the ice cream place where Ms. Littlejohn was nice enough to buy us some ice cream. Then we walked around and saw some elk. We went back to camp and ate lunch. That afternoon we did laundry. Then we went to a movie theater and saw an IMAX movie that was really good. Afterwards we went and got pizza. Then we drove back to the campsite.
