Hey blog!!!! We are the Grumpies
(Ali Gerig, McKenna Sutherland, Hannah Turner, Lara Prosser, Lucy Sigmon, Mary
Mac Bradshaw, Hannah Ackerman, Katie Bridges, Annisten Christensen, Ethan
Stoll, Connor Pridnia, Braden Tautkus, and Kobey Godbold).
This morning we were woken up at
7:15 by the song “Sweet Home Alabama” blaring through a speaker. We left
Colorado College, had pop tarts and apples for breakfast, and then headed to
the Olympic Training Center.
When we arrived, we watched a short film about
Olympians and their training methods. After that we toured the center and got
to see some of them in action!
Claire was picked to try out one of the wheelchairs for basketball!
Some of us even got to go into the boxing ring
and witness Ethan slamming Kobey and Everett pinning down Connor. After this we
traveled through the rest of Colorado and boring Kansas.
For lunch we had chicken and turkey
wraps with goldfish and Capri-Sun. On the bus we watched three movies, “The
Princess Bride”, “Sky High”, and “Moana.” On Miss America we had dance offs
where Everett and Hollis took home the gold due to Kobey’s great DJ-ing. On
Carolina Girl, wonderful Nate let us watch “Despicable Me 3” and “Jurassic
Park” on his iPad.
In the midst of Kansas, we pulled off of the highway and
snapped a quick pic in front of an oilrig. We also made two other stops for potty
breaks and a Wal-Mart to restock.
Finally, we arrived in Manhattan,
Kansas at our campgrounds around 9:30. We had nachos for dinner and tried to sleep
while the bugs ate us!
SOS! If we aren’t here for the next blog, just know we
love you all!
