Memory in the Grand Canyon

     Last year me, my sister and my brother went to hike the Grand Canyon with our friends. We took two days to get there and four days to hike rim to rim. Then another two days to get back. It was really fun and hard. We were going slow enough that it wasn't as hard. Since we were going for four days we had big packs on. While we hiked we saw people running past us with tiny packs and a water bottle in hand. Then we would see people running at midnight while we were trying to sleep.
     On our first night, Ben, Bonnie and Katie were trying to put together our first meal. We decided the girls would make the dinner and Ben would clear a place for our sleeping area. Ben made his own broom out of branches and string he found. He made a nice little area for sleeping. So Bonnie, Katie and I started out putting together a little cooker to make rice. Our plan didn't work very well. We couldn't figure out this rice, because it was different from what we were used to. Ben ended up finishing the sleeping area and then making rice. He just randomly tried something and he kept on pouring out water and adding rice. We all watched and had it in our mind for the next night. That was the sad story for us girls, but it's too funny to be sad or disappointed in myself or the other girls.
