The Spencer Adventure: The Grand Canyon!

So a couple of weeks before Memorial day weekend we were watching a show about cool places.

The grand canyon came up and we were like hey, let's go to the Grand Canyon for Memorial weekend!

Matt has never been before and we figured this was as good a time as any. We called up some cousins that we haven't got to see in a while and asked if they wanted to meet there..

They were in and we were off!

It was a super long drive

And the radio in our car is broken

We may have gone a little crazy

But it was totally worth the drive once we finally got there!

We drove all day and showed up after dark.. We actually drove 30 past where we were supposed to be.. And had to drive back.. That was a bummer haha

So This was Micah's first time tent camping!

We pretty much kept him in this little suit the whole time we were around camp because it was freezing!! Here we thought the Grand Canyon would be warm..

The days weren't bad, but nights were super cold

The other reason we kept him in the suit was because every time we put him on the ground he would immediately eat all the dirt and rocks he could find.

So we covered up his hands

See what I mean?

So on Saturday we spent the day sight seeing and hiking

In case you were wondering, the Grand Canyon is huge!!

It was so awesome to see it

Here we all are right before out little hike.

We had so much fun hanging out with James and Kristy

Their little girl is also in this picture.. She's on james' back..

I thought the switchbacks looked super cool

The babies loved hiking!

We hiked down to ooh aah point

Yep that's really what its called

Micah was seriously loving it

All the hiking really wore out the babies

But once they woke up they had lots of fun playing on the table together

They were good little buddies, it was fun to watch them.

Super great day

We went home through St George and got to be there for my cousin's baby blessing

She was so precious and perfect!!

And my cousin made her dress and headband, super impressive!

The little girl in the middle is my other cousin's baby who is super close in age to Micah

This was my first time getting to meet her so that was awesome!

Micah thought this bike was pretty cool (but I'm pretty sure Matt liked it the most)

Micah also had a blast playing with my cousin's boy Jason

They were so cute together!
It was so good to see family and get to hang out with them for a little while

The next day on the way home my uncle took us to Kolob Canyon
