Day 7




VEGAS, WE MADE IT!!!!





Today we woke up by the sound of the crows instead of V’s voice…. AT 5:30AM!!!!!!! This was 
our day to “sleep in”!!!! Once we got moving we were FINALLY able to have a sit down breakfast at the campsite.  We were so excited because this meant we wouldn’t be on the vehicles and we could really enjoy our meal!! The cooks AKA the Grump’s made pancakes and bacon! TALK ABOUT YUM!!

After our quick meeting with the staff, we loaded the vehicles and started making our way to VEGAS!!!  On our scenic ride to Vegas each group sat on the vans and bus together to create a rockin’ song about TWB.  Once we arrived at University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) each group had time to rehearse and perform in the nice air condition of the student center.  Of course, the Dopey’s remixed Beyonce’s song “Irreplaceable” and won this contest.


Around 8:00 or around sunset we all hopped onto the vans and the bus to head to the new strip in Las Vegas. Vicky and the KT's led us through Caesar’s Palace and we were confused by the sky painted ceilings and surprised by all the different gambling machines and nightlife in Vegas. After a group pic in front of the fountain, we were sent off on our own to experience Vegas independently. Each of the groups ate around Vegas and then explored the strip. The Bellagio water show seemed to be an all around favorite and did some light shopping in Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Dior, just kidding, we bought cheap t-shirts for you all back home. But can you really tell the difference between Gucci and a souvenir shop t-shirt? We can’t, besides the smell.

We got back to the bus around 12:00 and we changed into our clothes for the night and boarded our chariot to the beaches of Santa Monica overnight. Some of us signed up to be co-pilot and talked with the counselors and Henry to keep them awake, The rest if us were granted the glorious gift of sleep in the van or the bus. After some awkward sleeping positions were achieved, we were knocked out for the night and excited to arrive in Santa Monica.

It’s been real keeping y’all updated but all good things must come to an end. The Sleepy’s will have some BIG shoes to fill.
