Grand Canyon Trip

Gary just spent 2 weeks in July rafting down the Colorado in the Grand Canyon. It was his fifth time down the river but the first time that Grandpa Chem and all four of the brothers were on the same trip.

The trip is the equivalent of rowing from Provo to Idaho Falls (240 miles) Needless to say Gary came home pretty tired but other than having to swim through Lava it was a great trip. (If you don't know what swim the rapid means, don't ask!!)
The tired rafters at the end of the trip. Way to go Blaine--at 80 years of age, it was his 30th time down the Grand Canyon, yep----that's why we call him Grand Canyon Grandpa!!!
