Grand Canyon Trip

Well, after a couple of months of our normal routine (i.e. - get up, go to work, come home, sleep, repeat), Emily and I got to take a much needed, though short, vacation with her family up to the Grand Canyon area. We never actually went to the canyon, since the only people who hadn't seen it yet were either so young they were terrified of going and falling in or they wouldn't remember it anyway. Mostly we sat around, played games or went on short treks into the woods. Most of my walks were generally done in the company of our two Shiba Inu pups, who made the camping trip very fun for mine and Emily's nieces and nephew. Izzie especially had fun when on the first morning she snapped her collar off and ran around the campground unrestrained for ten minutes before spotting one of the smaller children, where an adult finally caught the pup. We had to use nylon string to create a make-shift harness for her. It was also nice to have a break from the heat. We had afternoon showers for both of the full days we were camping. It was good to get away, though I think I may suggest Oak Creek canyon to my in-laws for next year. It is a good two hours closer and there would be an easily accessible body of water. I'd put up pictures, but I don't have any in my possesion right now.
