It was about a week from July 4 of 2010 and my family decided to go to the Grand Canyon. When we were leaving my parents said we weren't staying for long so I shouldn't ask to go for a hike. When we arrived we got out the car and walked up to the edge and started taking pictures. I had forgotten that she had already told me no for hiking so I asked if we could. She then said that we could since it was such a beautiful day. We then walked up to a counter that a man and women were standing at. My mother told them how many of us there were which was 5 and that we wanted to go for a hike. I soon started to regret that i asked to do it because my feet started to ache within 3/4s of a mile and we still had 2 more miles to go till we were finished. So I started slowing down and my sister ended up carrying me on her back for a little bit. as we were walking we came across a beautiful waterfall it was breath taking it smelt like flowers when we were close to it. There were beautiful plants surrounding it from trees to little flowers it was a sight to behold. We stayed there for a bit and kept going along the path there were ups and downs all through out the trail some high and some low. It hurt my feet walking for that long when I was so young but I had people there to push me along and carry me to let me rest for a bit. The hike was a great experience. I really had a great time with my family. We had went so that we could have family time. I have amazing memories from it.
