Girls Camp

Things have been super busy in the Harris home lately. 
A couple weeks ago I went to girl's camp for our church. I had a blast! I got to spend time with these lovely girls and got to know other girls from my church. It was such a fun week and even though I went as an adult leader many people thought I was one of the girls :)
 
Have I mentioned how much I love my church!?
We have been doing lots of corn roasting and have done some fun things since then I will try and post more pictures when I get a chance.

Havasupai Falls Day 2 & 3

 ...Continued from Day 1
{Friday June 10}
We woke up bright and early to begin our day.
(Reed took this photo and was so proud of it I had to post it)

Our first stop was to these falls called Rock Falls. Reed could get  enough of them and I lost count of how many times he jumped off them. He is crazy I know.
I just went behind them instead.

We stopped at some more falls to play in.
And some more.
After lunch we went back to Mooney Falls
We just couldn't get enough of this place.
Reed, Bryce and I decided to hike a little ways Friday night to get ahead start on the next day to hike out.
We just had to take a picture by this tree. Cute I know :)

We stopped by the village to take a look around. This is the LDS church they have there.
 This is where we slept, just a pretty view under the stars.
This is the reason we wanted a head start is for this bad boy called the switch backs. The road seriously steep, hiking down them was a breeze but hiking up is a different story.
Lets just say I was not enjoying myself at this point, but if you never challenge yourself you will never know what you are capable of.

 But we made it out and it was totally worth the pain! It was a blast and we just wish we could visit more often.

Havasupai Falls Day 1

{Thursday June 2}
We woke up at 2 am to drive to the spot of the Grand Canyon to hike down at. We started hiking down to Havasupai Falls at 5 am. This is what it looked like when we started. All you could see was head lamps coming down the canyon.
We saw some pretty sights along the way.

Tried to catch a ride but we weren't so lucky.
10 miles later we finally made it and was able to enjoy this beauty. The famous Havasu Falls.
We were so excited we could barely stand it!
We then took a little trip to see another waterfall called Mooney Falls.
It was quite the hike down.
This waterfall is the tallest in the continental U.S. and it is beautiful!



 We then played in the river below Mooney falls in little drops like this one.
The pictures really do not do this place justice.
After a LONG day we soaked our feet in the river and went to bed because we had a big day ahead of us tomorrow.
Day 2 to be continued...

Anniversary


This is a picture of our nephew Ezra at Riverfest this weekend. Yeah our roasted corn is that good, he was on his 3rd ear.

Monday was our 2nd anniversary! Can you believe we have been married for 2 years?! Time sure has flown by. (I have a separate post more on this later) We didn't do anything romantic, but its okay because in about an hour we are leaving to this place..
Awesome huh! Its called Havasupi Falls. We will be hiking in tonight and hiking out Saturday. I've never been before but that's all Reed's family ever talks about. Its going to be a blast, wish us luck!
