Day 19- Colorado: AF Academy, Dance Contest!
Hey, hey, hey it’s the Happy’s coming back act you for the
last time, from Colorado.
Today was another long riding day, filled with beautiful
scenery and interesting conversations. After waking up at 6, to the thundering
sound of a basketball hitting the gym floor, we quickly got ready and we made
sure to be all decked out in our Fourth of July apparel.
Throughout most of the
morning we took naps trying to catch up on much needed sleep, as we’ve all been
sleep deprived for the past 19 days. We were all woken up with the greatest
words a teenager could ever hear, “Breakfast is ready!”. After a lovely
breakfast of muffins, and apples many of us began making friendship bracelets,
and listening to some friendly roast sessions.
After driving, we all stopped at a Flying Jay, where most
bought pizza and Cinnabons. We were then treaty to the site of our director,
Josh eating a Cinnabon off the parking lot ground.
We then loaded back on the
vehicles and continued driving until we reached our destinations of the Colorado
Air Force Academy. After we watched a documentary on the hardships and the
benefits of the Air Force. We made the short walk to the chapel, and were all
amazed by the astounding beauty. The visiting strangers were just as amazed
while we stood outside the chapel and acted like flying planes, fireworks and
the American flag for some postcard pictures.
The girls honored a tradition of
past Tdubers and all kissed a cadet the bravely signed something he wasn’t
anticipating.
As the boys looked on some found themselves jealous and kissed
Director Josh instead of the cadets.
