Day 17: Cody, Wyoming
Hey hey hey! Welcome to the happiest group on TWB... THE HAPPY’S! (That’s Luke, Tucker, Lillian, Katelyn, Ella Kate, Autumn, Mallie, Cole, Breanna, Mylee, Truman, Kate, Carson, and Julia, in case you missed it!)
This morning we woke up peacefully without Dallas singing “wakey wakey” to wake us up. We kicked off the morning with a cereal bar extravaganza, providing us with our very own options of cereal in our signature red solo cups!
We had a light sprinkle as we were loading the bus this morning but it did not dampen our spirits (but it might have sprinkled our clothes.) Anyway, we were so excited to embark on our journey through the rapids of a beautiful Wyoming river! Each group got to have one “bull rider” who was the chosen person who fearlessly lead our rafts! It was cold but definitely a highlight of the rafting trip! Today marked our final laundry pit stop—no more funky odors, much to the relief of the entire TWB staff!
so many cereal options for breakfast! |

The Laundromats were an adventure (as always). Laundry is something that takes a minute but we always find ways to pass the time. Snacks, talking, and the boys finding trouble are just a few of our favorite ways. JK, no troublemakers on this trip! Just a few boys and a lacrosse stick passing the ball back & forth!
Back at the campsite many of us enjoyed nice warm showers followed by Blizzards from Dairy Queen which really hit the spot! Just what this group needs is more sugar! Meanwhile, our chefs made a Walmart run, then returned and created a leftover buffet that we were all snacking on basically the whole day! Who says pudding doesn't go with carrots and hummus? Afternoon antics included heartfelt calls home, games galore in the Grizzly Den, surprise rain showers (good thing we dried off!), and more blissful Blizzards (yes some of us ate 2)!

XOXO the HAPPYS! :)
