This morning Dad and I hiked up Grotto Canyon:

We came to a dry falls, so we backtracked and tried to find a way around:

Unfortunately, our way around brought us to a ridge well above the canyon, so we couldn’t get down:

Meanwhile, we rest of the crew was at the sand dunes nearby:

In the afternoon, we had a surprise birthday for Bubbe:

It was an emotional moment for Bubbe:

I worked on making a balloon dinosaur.  I finished it after 15 minutes, only to have Trish pop it while drawing on the face.
