Gand Canyon Camping

Let it snow stuffing!

Let me start off of what we have been up to the last few weeks. Ben and I have been helping my mother clean storage units and the RV part of the storage units out. It was a 3 day job and lots of brush and weeds to clean out. It was an opportunity for Ben and I to spend time together, since we don't do it much. Even though, it was hard work it was fun. When we leave our house we shut our dogs in the laundry room and they still have access to the house and that is where their doggy door is. Well, we came home one day to find this mess. It looked like snow had fallen in our laundry room. I remembered why we don't have a dog bed because this is what happens. Gotta love dogs and their ways.

North Timp Point, Grand Canyon view. Awesome!

We also had finally gone camping. It has been exactly two years since we have gone. We went with Ben's family to the Grand Canyon on the North Rim on the Kiabab Plateau. It is called the North Timp Point. And it is a wonderful site. It is so beautiful where we camp. We camp a couple hundred yards from the the edge. So every night we watch the sun go down.

We had an awesome time. Laughed, played, and watch the kids get so dirty. Gabby was the dirtiest of them all. She was hilarious but very irritating. As soon as you wiped her clean she was dirty. We got to the point to stop trying to clean her but it always got in her eyes. Then she got mad so we wiped her down again. We had to bath her every night. It was caked in her hair and had to comb it out a couple of times.

Daddy and dirty Gabby! She looked like that all day long every day!

Cash had a good time playing with cousins. He and Gabby loved to ride the 4-wheelers. Every time someone would start one, they would go running. When you got going a little fast, Cash would say, "Slow down." It was a good time.

On Saturday all the guys went fishing at Lees Fiery. They said fly fishing was awesome. That same day my parents drove up and surprised me. They got a room at the lodge at Jacob's Lake. They spent a couple hours with the kids and I. My parents never had known how pretty it really is.

All in all it was good trip. I must say though with no running water and no toilets for 4 days is way rough. Fun but that was my max. The dogs also had a good time. But on the way home Ben and I found out that their harnesses had dug into their skin and got infected and rank. It was from all the dirt and kids pulling on them. We felt so bad but they have fully recovered and we are all trying to recover, especially me. I can't get enough sleep.

I do recommend going there. It is so pretty and the temperatur is cool. Nothing like the south rim. I want to say thank you to the Syphus family for being who they are and enjoying the outdoors as much as they do. They really know how to camp. We never go anywhere near campgrounds. They really teach you how to camp. Truck everything in and out! They truly are a awesome bunch. And the good times they bring to my life. Even though I don't see eye to eye all the time with them. I truly love them and have so much fun with them. I can be me with them and not have to worry. Thank you, Syphus's and I love you so very much!
