I saw big rocks when we got there, and I couldn&#8217;t wait til the next day because we were going to get to hike down into the Grand Canyon.  It was very cool.  I thought one of us would fall off, but we didn&#8217;t.  It was very rocky, beautiful, and colorful.  When I started the hike, I looked down and it didn&#8217;t look like a long way to go, but it was a lot to go.   My dad said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t drink so much water.  Save it for the walk back up.&#8221;  We got to the red rocks and those are the oldest rocks in the Grand Canyon.  [editor&#8217;s note:  the rocks at the bottom are actually the oldest, at 2 billion years; the red rocks we reached are more like 350 million].  We stopped at Cedar Ridge.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_423\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/4wheels4girls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/gc1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-423\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/4wheels4girls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/gc1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" class=\"size-full wp-image-423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4wheels4girls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/gc1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/4wheels4girls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/gc1-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-423\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Along the trail in the canyon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then we started to hike back up.  We got some trail mix on the way. Then we got to a shady spot and had some more trail mix and then we walked on.  It was very hot in the sun.  We stopped along the way and a squirrel nibbled Ellie&#8217;s finger.  Mama came down and met us along the trail near the top. Greta pointed her out.  I didn&#8217;t see her and might have run into her.  I drank all my water and then we made it up to the top.<\/p>\n<p>Me and Ellie saw the mules at the top.  One almost got out.<\/p>\n<p>We stayed at a campground that did not have a pool.  I wish it had a pool.<\/p>\n<p>When I was dreaming, I dreamed I was going all the way down to skeleton point with my kids.  I think Skeleton point is a campground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 31, we went to the Grand Canyon.
