HHHHEEEYYYY YALLLLL it’s the Happys here- Jaclyn Harrison, Carson Buie, MJ Brewer, Sam Inman, Madison Lee, Ellie Reuter, Harrison Carter, Annaliese Nelli, Sarah Shiflet, Jake Honeycutt, and Hayden Love coming to you from a dairy queen in Cody, Wyoming!
Today we got to sleep in until 7:45am!!!! WOOHOO!! It was great!! We started the day off whitewater rafting down the Shoshone River in Cody, Wyoming. The water was absolutely freezing! A whopping 45 degrees, BRRRRRR!!! Some of us got more soaked than others, and most of us jumped in the freezing water. After completing our journey we felt very accomplished because we looked like professionals going down the many rapids!
We then came back to the campsite to a wonderful surprise by our very own Grant Deaton and Ms. V. They cooked us a delicious breakfast of eggs, grits, sausage, and toast. After the meal we had some time to ourselves. Most of us did laundry (our last time ), shower, and shopped. A group of boys went to go play mini golf, and of course Sam being the G.O.A.T. won, and of course bet him a blizzard, which he paid for in quarters, LOL!!! The girls then got all dolled up in jean shorts and tank tops, while the boys put on their Walmart homemade jean shorts (jorts), with muscle tees.
Dinner time came around and the Sleepies began cooking a sit-down dinner for us. We had grilled cheese, tomato soup, caesar salad, and cookies! After that we loaded the bus and van and headed downtown to shop for COWBOY HATS!!! Pretty much everyone got a hat ranging from $15 to $200 (parents check your kids bank accounts), then we were off to the rodeo! We had the best time EVER!! Most of us thought it was the best night of the whole trip. One of the more interesting parts was the calf chase for children 12 and under, Aiden going in for the TWB crew, he blended in just fine, unfortunately he did not win. The rodeo announcers loved us and even played “Sweet Caroline” for us, and of course we went crazy!! Now ending our night at Dairy Queen right behind our campsite, enjoying blizzards and other treats. Some of us mingling with the local teenage cowboys and girls. Today was a day of making memories that will last a lifetime!
Rafting Time! Everyone is prepped for some chilly water in rain jackets and ponchos!
