Journal 17

A time I bonded with nature was one time when my grandparents took me to the Grand Canyon. I was so amazed by what I saw. It was so immense, and unreal. I could not believe something could be so beautiful. It was crazy how it was natural. I later found out that they think it was caused by a huge meteor. I felt so little standing next to it because it was so huge, and I was like nothing next to it. Another time I bonded with nature was when I went camping by Lake Sancris. We rented a cabin, and we stayed in it for a week. The cabin had electricity, and fully renovated kitchen, bathroom, and two master bedrooms. It was kind of like fake camping. I left my phone charger at home, so I did not have my phone for about five days. I was 12 so it was not a big deal. Instead of sitting inside texting or catching up with the latest gossip on the phone, I went outside. I went fishing. I went swimming. I went kayaking. I went running, and I tanned outside. It was the most time I have ever spent outside. I had so much fun that week. Even though we cheated, and cooked our food in the microwave, and the oven, it was still a great time to spend outside with nature.
