Campfire.
Rushing water.
Crickets.
S'mores.
Ladder ball.
The freshest of mountain air.
An occasional train rumbling and screeching through the canyon.
Levi's laugh that begins with an asthmatic-sounding grunt.
Lance's guffaws.
Ashley's giggle.
Sisters and brothers and friends around a campfire, under a clear sky with music and full bellies.
An afternoon of wading in the Colorado River behind us, a morning of hiking to Hanging Lake in front of us.
This is the life.
