Day 6- The Grand Canyon

Day 6: Grand Canyon

Hello from the crack in the ground! Today we woke up super duper early at a horrible 4:30 am. Beginning with a 1-mile hike to the trail called the Angel Trail (named after Randy.)  The 6 milers started first at a very swift pace. Then, our 3 milers began with a solid speed walk. Finally, our clumsy one milers began their hike/Instagram influencer in the wild photoshoot. As the hikers headed down they saw many chipmunks, billy goats, and mules. Many photos were taken (see below.) We stopped for a quick rest break before heading back up. The hike was easy going down, but much more difficult on the way up. We all made it out by 10 am!!!! After hiking, we had the options of calling home, showering, doing laundry, shopping, and sitting.  A lot of tears were shed while we called mommy and daddy. At 12 pm, we got to eat the infamous Deaton stew. Maddie wants to eat it everyday. ;) Bailey had fruit in hers while others had lucky charms and ruffles. The GO-GO juice was a big hit. It was all stirred together with a dirty golf club. After lunch we found phones in the lodge to call boo thangs and others. A lot of people bought $.99 mugs and many other souvenirs. Sorry for all the money spent fam. Tonight was buy your own dinner from the many options in the park. Highlights include; burgers, salads, nachos, and wraps. We ended the night with a sing along featuring new French friends. Everyone got a new TWB Grand Canyon t-shirt.
