 This waterfall... I cannot think of the name right now, supposedly is the warmest water on the river.

 It felt like hail hitting your bare skin. Ouch.

Emily and Paige's "honeymoon suite" camp
The whole gang. 18 guests, and 2 of our guides while Lucky is taking the picture

Jeff and I decided to take his parents up on their invitation to raft the Grand Canyon with them. After that, Paige Emily and some Manila friends decided to come as well. We had a blast. We spent 7 days on the river, endured hail/snow, sun, saw some of the prettiest sites ever, and had a great time with family and friends. Jeff and I both got a little "Thomas sick"  but he was being spoiled rotten and we knew that. Pictures don't do it justice for how pretty the Grand is. Holy cow. Go back again? Yes!
