My Grand Canyon Visit

Over spring break, I visited the marvelous Grand Canyon in Arizona. I traveled by car with my two sisters and parents. My dog, Daisy, did not fit in the car so we had to leave her at the doggie daycare. The drive there was so long that I watched the movie "Tintin" so many times, I actually lost count. We went from California to Laughlin, Nevada to Williams, Arizona which is very close to the South Rim of the colossal Grand Canyon.

On our first day at the Grand Canyon, we saw the breathtaking sunset . It turned out to be a spectacular time to view the canyon because you could see many beautiful colors, and shadows, which made the whole view unforgettable. You can see what I mean in the next picture.

Standing close to the edge of the canyon walls made me feel like I was going to fall in the canyon. My stomach was hurting because I was a little nervous. 

Getting a little too close to the edge of the canyon.

After the Grand Canyon experience, we also traveled to Page Arizona, and visited Glenn Canyon which also shares the same river as the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River. We went into the canyon and traveled on a big raft down the river. I also saw the amazing Powell dam, which is second only to the Hoover dam in size. In my next post, I will be sharing some of those great pictures and stories. If you are going to visit Arizona, I highly recommend going to the Grand Canyon for a great experience.

Have you ever visited Arizona, if so have you been to the Grand Canyon?

Welcome!

Welcome to Alexandra's Amazing Anthology! I am very excited to say that Mrs. Yollis  has given me this blog.   Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Alexandra.

This is my with my bear, "Pepito"

   Here is a little information about me.  I absolutely adore painting and drawing, because it helps me release my anger when I am upset.  I love to run around my backyard and play with my dog when I am happy.   My dog's name is Daisy , and I love her with all my heart. She reminds me of the dogs that I've had in the past.   Daisy is a Golden Retriever who loves to run around and chase sticks and balls.   I like to play tag with her.  She is very quick.

                                                                      This is Daisy.

I also have two cats, one male and one female, named Jasper and Cali respectively.   Jasper's nickname is "Jazzy."  My cats are very playful and they never run out of energy.   They really like to play at night and sometimes they make so much noise they wake me up. 

                                                     Left = Jasper         Right = Cali.

Besides going to school, I also play basketball, which is my favorite sport.   I play on a girl's club team named Lights Out.  There are different levels of teams from Elementary to High School.   I have to practice twice a week and I have two games every week.    When I score a basket, a big smile always spreads across my face.   I also play the piano.   I love my piano teacher because she is very kind and gentle.    She always brings me little treats and goodies.    Plus, she never ever gets angry at me, even if I haven't practiced as much as I should have.   

Sincerely,

Alexandra
