Day 23- Return
Today we woke up at 6:30am…we got to sleep in! Our alarm clock consisted of “What Does the
Fox Say” and “Kung Fu Fighting”. Thanks Grant!
After loading our stuff and cleaning our campsite, we hit the road. Everyone was uneasy to hop on the bus one last
time. The cooks made us a gourmet
breakfast featuring cereal, little bite muffins, and cuties. While we ate, we jammed to “Party in the USA”
together, dreading having to say goodbye. Later we had some ham and turkey sandwiches
for lunch, delicious. We also had chips and cookies, the typical TWB sides. Following some wild dance parties, we are now stopped
at a Sheetz gas station for bus cleaning and refueling. We will soon be on our way to a church
outside of Mallard Creek to organize our things, and say our final goodbyes. After that…HOME SWEET HOME! We cant wait to
see you all at Mallard Creek at 5pm.
As we are passing by many familiar locations in NC, we realize that we are getting close to the end. Despite the amount of time we have left, the bonds in this family will last a lifetime, and we will never truly be apart. We love Teens Westward Bound and everything that this trip has given us. Thank you to everybody who has made it possible for us to travel this summer, especially the Deaton family. This was a trip that we will never forget, and the people that we will always call family. It's not goodbye, it's see you later.

Update: Thank you so much for keeping up with the blog. I had a blast this summer as my third time being a counselor and I could not have asked for a better group! Thank you for sharing your kiddos with me this summer. To my participants, I love you!! Keep in touch, this blog will always be here for you to remember your TWB memories.
