Canyon Adventure!!


Okay so yesterday I took my cute little nephew McKade up the canyon on a nature walk for an assignment I had to do at school. It was so much fun. We stopped at McDonald's on our way and got a kids meal and then we headed up to third dam and had a picnic. We then went and explored the many trails that intrigued him picking up many colored leaves on the way. We were gone about an hour and a half and decided to head home to make a picture out of our leaves and to finish my assignment. When we got back to my car it had a FLAT tire. I was so bugged and Mckade was quite worried we would have to sleep there. But thanks to my wonderful older brothers that taught me how to change a tire I told him he had nothing to fear. Well, I was somewhat wrong. I had just taken my car in to get it inspected and they tightened all of the lug nutts on the tire and well tightened one of them way to tight. We were quite the sight jumping on the tire iron and all. Well I finally had to admit defeat and go and ask for help. We found a very nice gentleman camping who gladly came to our rescue. It took him a good fifteen minutes to get the lug nut loose but he finally did and changed our tire for us. McKade was so excited that we didn't have to sleep there and that he could take his new caterpillar Fuzzy home and put him in a jar. Well it was a very adventursome and fun day. McKade and I wrote a book about our trip and let me tell you it is the cutest book ever.
I just love my family so much and love having them all so close. I have the cutest neices and nephews in the world and I'm so lucky to have them all here in the valley and to have such wonderful siblings that allow me to kidnap there kids and play with them and have one-on-one time with them. They truly are my best friends and its always fun to spend time with them.
