Hey y’all it’s the Dopey’s- MG, Maggie S., Marin, Charlotte, TJ, Wriston, Brynn, Ethan, Stetson, and Merrily! Today we hiked the Grand Canyon and the beauty we saw is just indescribable. We woke up around 4:30 AM, got dressed very quickly and started our brisk walk down to the canyon led by Grant that was an extra 1-1.5 miles for a warm up! We are ready to get extra fit today! On our walk we saw some fat squirrels, elks, and mules leading those throughout the canyon. If we had to describe the sunrise in one word, it would be astonishing! Participants had the option of doing a 2 mile, 3 mile or 6 mile hike. This will be a day to remember in all of our lives as we had friends beside us who cheered us on when we felt like we couldn’t get back to the top. We all felt a sense of accomplishment when we reached the top and are so glad we got to experience this with our TWB family.
After our hike, everyone was free to do anything they would like such as: laundry, shower, riding the buses around the Canyon, visiting the general stores at the national park, calling home, napping, etc. For lunch we enjoyed the famous Deaton stew over delicious white bread- a perfect pairing. Everyone met up at 7 pm to close the day with a sing-along. Our favorite songs were Party in the USA, Cruise, and Dixieland Delight which we sang so loudly that it could be heard throughout the entire campground!
Tomorrow we will be heading to LAS VEGAS! We get to sleep in, and take our time getting all dressed up before we hit the town! We are so excited and cannot wait to see what all that Vegas has to offer!
