Grumpy’s here: Tripp, Henry, Harris, Riley, Bailey, Maggie, Libby, Abby, Sentrelle, and Sarah Tate and we are checking in with you from Corbin, Kentucky!
This morning we woke up at 5:15 which came fast because we spent most of our night observing a baby fox and raccoons. We also saw someone fall out of their Eno, but we won’t talk about that. After we all got to our designated vehicles, we all took nice two-hour naps to our rest stop in Indiana. When we got back on, we all had a delicious doughnut breakfast with bananas and Sunny D - the royal treatment if you will. Just like that we were headed to one of our last destinations before heading to NC… Churchill Downs! Once we made it, we explored the Kentucky Derby Museum, had our own horse races where we could place fake bets and see how much money we won, and we were so excited to see a real race all decked out in our Fourth of July attire. You may see Tripp in flag pants, everyone having their nails painted, including almost all the boys. Of course, we found the gift shop and bought plenty of souvenirs.
After the latest lunch, we made it to the FAMOUS, FIRST EVER, KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN, ALSO KNOWN AS KFC. While we were there, our groups practiced our talents for the show while we were waiting to be called for dinner. We had a nice traditional KFC dinner and headed to our last campsite. Once we unpacked, we started with the show.
There were tears, laughs, and some embarrassed people. Ultimately, the Happy’s won the talent show with their "Guess that Camper" game. (We all know it was rigged). Somehow, the Dopey’s, pulled the ultimate upset and won the whole overall score from all the competitions during our TWB adventure. Also, rigged. We had a tear-jerking sing along looking up at the stars. We were reminiscing on our past 22 days together and thinking about our last day tomorrow. It has been a pleasure end the blog with a bang. We look forward to seeing you all in person soon.
Your favorites,
The Grumpy’s
