 KAILA STOUT had a birthday yesterday and we celebrated!!!! It was out of control. San Antonio  Today began very early, waking up at 4:30 a.m. The sun had not yet risen when we pulled out of Fontainebleau State Park before 5:30. Almost everyone slept on their bus or vans, until a traveling breakfast was served a few hours later. Today was a day of much traveling- over 12 hour's worth. San Antonio was our only stop, where we remembered the Alamo and experienced the San Antonio River Walk- barefoot. Several memorable events occurred during the long rides, including one on the Miss America van. Counselor Wilbur, caught a pigeon, tossed it into the van during a group photo shoot. After San Antonio, we traveled two more hours to the local grocery store, where group Happy shopped for dinner (tacos) and yours truly, group Bashful, shopped for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch. After tonight, all groups will be switching duties, so new bloggers will be coming on board starting tomorrow. We, the Bashfuls, look forward to our new cooking duties, and future adventures we have yet to discover. As we leave, we'd like to take this opportunity to say Hi! to all our parents, and say that even though we're having a great time, we still miss home. Love y'all! Group Bashful Signing off- Elizabeth Carriel, Becca Troxler, Taylor Long, Kristen Layne, Brittany Rogers, Jon Arkin, Anna Faria, Kati Cardwell, David Sullivan, Nathan Dove, Alex Cooley, Brandon Mullally, Matt Krueger, Peter Terrio We had an early morning on the bus. Participants were a bit tired.   We even had a performance from the TWB Choir.  Ladies and Gentlemen the 2007 Trek #2 Director... The Big V, Likki Vikki, and V-Twin, helped us make sure it was okay to cross the train tracks.  TWB did the ALAMO!!!!   We saw a real deal Texas Ranger and we liked his Stache.  Fun times in San Antonio, with waterfalls...  ..And attack of the killer pigeons!!!!  Sally Evans is one of our bookkeepers who work's hard to keep our money straight.  We ended our day learning about the killer pigeons and how to protect your-self.  Counselor's Corner- WOW! Let's just say 4:20 a.m. is incredibly early for most people to start their day. For Teens Westward Bound it's just another day in the journey of discovering the wonders of our great AMERICA. On our way out of Louisiana we watched the sunrise behind us well some of us did, but most of the participants fell asleep as soon as they hit their seats. Who could blame them?!?! Before we knew it, the sun had risen and the blue skies led the way into the great state of Texas. We traveled nearly 600 miles today, but, that gave the participants lots of time to chat and get to know their neighbors on the vans and bus. After a HUGE taco dinner we are ready for bed, ready to start another fantastic day. I can not express how great, smart and incredibly talented all of the kids are. Only on day 4 and already such a fantastic group they have become. What will tomorrow bring? Counselor - Rebekah Mitchell |
