indescribably great

4 amazing days in nature
much learned knowledge
lots of "ooooh"s and "aaaaah"s
fantastic ending to it all with a text

The Grand Canyon was the most amazing natural phenomenon I've ever seen. I'd seen pictures of it but when I, for the first time, got the the rim of the canyon and look out, I felt so tiny and unimportant compared to the majestic and great and ancient rocks and river and caves. I enjoyed every moment I was there; well that's a lie because I did get pretty annoyed with my dad's childishness at times. Yet, overall it was an amazing experience.

Then on the drive back, I encountered a pleasant surprise: a text massage, short and simple but significant in what it implied. :]

I also finished knitting the scarf :) Max's birthday will be extremely funny but special this year. It is a sweet sixteen after all! Oh friends.
