Hi everyone, we are the Dopey's!! Kate, Jocelyn, Lauren, Luke, Morgan, Sophie, Alli, Hudson, Auden, Noah, Ava, Mary Stewart, and Maddie. We will be in charge of the blog for the next four days.
This morning we woke up at a bright and early 5:00. The LED lights of the Shriner University gym were a pretty successful alarm. Some people tried to shield their eyes with their sleeping bags, but Ms. Vickie made it pretty clear that she wanted us up and out of there! Jyess she did!! On the van we slept most of the morning, and woke up to the beautiful Texas landscape: lots of oil rigs, cacti, and even a few cows! The bus, however, was pretty lively! They started a TWB bus playlist and the friendship bracelet factory has begun!
We must say that the Grumps are starting off strong as the cooks! We had a delicious breakfast of apples and muffins, a scrumptious lunch of chicken caesar wraps, and finally a delectable dinner of beef tacos and watermelon! If your child is a grumpy, give yourselves a nice big pat on the back!
Wrapping up our entry with our descriptive rendition of the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico: "They were nice and cold (I appreciate the small things)!", "Beautiful break from the 116 degree heat!", "After getting past the bat poop smell it was awesome!", "I liked the birds (there were no bats)."
Tonight, we sleep under the stars at the New Mexico Military Institute. And tomorrow, we visit the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest before FINALLY arriving at the Grand Canyon!!
