Hi from TWB! Today's blog will be a little different since most of TWB is in St. Louis but some of us (including Daisy with the blog computer) are still in Manhattan. Unfortunately, we mean Manhattan, Kansas, and not the other one. So the blog will be split into two parts: TWB and "The Kastaways," which is what the Kansas group has dubbed themselves.
The majority of TWB
What up TWB blog! It's the Grumpys again! Our morning began after a quick trip to Walmart to prepare for our meals throughout the day. Our wonderful breakfast consisted of Nutrigrain bars and bananas! Several naps were taken right before lunch was served. Our lunch consisted of walking tacos, which were very good. After a long drive through Kansas and into Missouri, we finally arrived at the Archway to the West. Sadly we weren't able to go up in the arch because the elevator eggs were not in service. We were still able to enjoy several interactive displays inside the Arch. Once we finished exploring the exhibits, we headed to our campsite in Illinois. There we were met by a kitty that joined us for dinner and had a bunch of mosquitoes. For dinner we had some delicious chicken caesar wraps. This has been the Grumpys! See y'all tomorrow!
The Kastaways
THE KANSAS KASTAWAYS: Madyson T., Danielle S., Ava G., Jameson B., Wyatt N., Savanna P., Caroline W., Amber R., Grant H., Kiran G., and our counselors Daisy and Ian.
This morning, most of us were woken up by the other kids that were headed on to go to the Arch. After they left our campsite, we all went back to sleep and slept until about 9:30 a.m. Yes we said NINE THIRTY!!! Once we woke up, we took showers and headed to the movies to watch THE LION KING!!!!!!!!!! After drying our tears from watching the movie, we all headed to Starbucks. Daisy stayed there to work on the blog and charge electronics to prepare for our primitive camping and the rest of us took off to the local shops. We all got custom t-shirts of our choice, checked out the Kansas sports store, and wandered around to multiple other local shops. Once we were finished we met back up with Daisy at Starbucks and headed to the Manhattan sign. After taking a few pictures and looking at the view, we then headed to Walmart. We got snacks, t-shirts, and a few things for dinner. After our Walmart adventure, we headed back to the campsite, and made our delicious walking tacos. We had doritos, chicken, beans, lettuce, and salsa. The rest of the night consisted of talking, games, t-shirt making, and deep conversations about life and the TWB trip. We all eventually headed to bed around midnight and we get to sleep in!! So far we're loving being part of this little group.
