Hiking the Grand Canyon on Ian's Birthday

On Ian's 17th birthday a large group of family and friends decided to ditch school and hike down the Bright Angel trail to Phantom Ranch, then back up the South Kaibab Trail

Ian and Florence were the first ones out

Of course, Florence took down party favors and cup cakes and had everyone in the place sing Happy Birthday to Ian
