This is what I looked like on April 15 of last year. I am hoping to fare better this year.Actually, I took the family to the Grand Canyon last year and had a great time. I was 1/3 of the way down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (we had scheduled to go to Vegas on this day and I refused to leave without going to the bottom but I only had 4 hours available) and turning around to go back up in this picture. I look bad and I hadn't even turned around (it is actually harder than it looks - climbing a mountain in reverse - that first step UP and I realized I had bitten off more than I thought). I am too ashamed to show the pictures from the top once I got there. I must have looked bad from the expressions on people's faces. They were offering me their last drops of water....I must have looked like I was dying.....water, water, water.
