Hello, we, the Grumpy’s, are the last bloggers for TWB ’16
Trip 2. It is bittersweet time to be a blogger especially at the end of the
trip. However our goal is to continue to inform and entertain you on the
progress of our adventures as they come to a close, so allow us to introduce
ourselves. There are 14 people in our group, Ellen, Ayla, Caroline, Dani, Grace,
Sam, Laura, Alex, Sydney, Maddi, Tripp, Preston, Josh, and Riley. Even though
we’re called the Grumpy’s we’re happy to be here!
V woke us up bright and early this morning at 5:20 to the
sound of “wake up little darlings”. Ever so punctual we were quickly on our way
out of Colorado to make sure we arrived in Kansas on time, however, soon a
quick stop had to be made at Wal-Mart so the cooks could get us a great
traveling breakfast and lunch.
After Wal-Mart we watched a few movies, one being Zootopia. John and Evan were very interested in it.
Halfway through the movie we stopped and got some gas and looked for Dorothy
and Toto while we ate good ole turkey and ham sandwiches.
Once back on the road we drove through Kansas, which is the
most interesting state we have been through. Nothing but cornfields as far as
the eye can see. We had many memorable moments that include Dani Ariza eating a
fly after losing a round of "what are the odds".
We stopped at Kansas State University for about 10 minutes to get a picture in front of the sign and it was extremely hot and muggy. This is the hottest it has been on this trip. We are already missing those cold nights where we could cuddle up and very few bugs around to eat us alive.

WE STOPPED TO SEE AN OIL RIG!!! It was SO hot and bugs
were attacking us. No one really saw a point on getting out and looking at it
if we could see just as much of it from afar but we will do anything to get a good
picture for Katti!!
Wal-Mart trip two was made so the Sneeze’s could get a food
to make for dinner and everyone else could get the dinner they actually
wanted. After Wal-Mart we were on our
way to the camp site for the night which was called Tuttle Creek State Park.
There were bugs everywhere, it was hot and muggy, slim to no showers... bummer!
Some of us chose to swim in the lake and if you did you had
to walk about a mile away and they almost missed dinner because of it. Everyone
who went said it was refreshing and they did not regret it. Dinner tonight was Tacos. THEY WERE AMAZING! Thank you cooks!
Tonight we had another sing along. This was so emotional
and our voices spread across the lake. We couldn't made it to American Idol!
When it was finally bedtime it was about 90 degrees with
bugs everywhere and this made it incredibly hard to sleep.
Our 20th day on TWB was a success. It is getting
harder and harder towards the end as we know this amazing experience is coming
to a close but we are all loving each day like it is our last and taking in all
of our experiences and keeping them close to our hearts as we will never forget
the amazing people we have got to know and the incredible places we have been
ever so grateful to see.
