Upon arrival, the Bashfuls began to whip up a delicious meal cooked on our griddle. While there have been some questionable meals this trip, this one was legendary. They made us French toast and sausage, and we all ate until we couldn’t any more.
If you asked us, we should have won the song competition, but it's ok, we'll get the next one. Every group chose a song and changed the lyrics to describe our spectacular TWB experience. Almost every group did a Katy Perry besides yours truly and the Grumpys. Everyone gathered around while each group sang their parody to a popular song about TWB, and we did little mini competitions to see who would perform their song first. One of our Sleepys, Landon, won the first mini competition, the high jump, which meant the competition started off with the best ones. After everyone performed their masterpieces, the councilors voted and crowned the Happys as the winners.
After the competition, we had a few hours of play time to enjoy and explore the beauties of Santa Monica. The pier and beach were free rein for TWB (God bless Santa Monica). On the pier, many of us shopped, ate 12-dollar ice cream, rode rides, and really became aware of California prices. At the beach, the water was slightly nippy, but TWB persevered. With a lot of salt water up our noses, sand in our hair, and burnt shoulders (plus a jellyfish sting), we Carolinians had a great time.
After a long day under the sun, we finally arrived at our home for the night. At Canyon RV Park in Anaheim, the grass is lush and green, with mighty oaks, basketball courts, and an extremely loud freeway. This greenery was a crowd favorite after spending many nights in the desert sand.
The cooks got an extra trip to Wally World to prepare us a gourmet spread of Chicken Nuggets, Mac and Cheese, Salad, and Cookies. It gave the Grumpy's outstanding tacos a good run for their money!
We all took a much-needed shower after a long two days in Vegas and at the beach. Everyone set up their sleeping areas for the night, prepping for some much-needed rest. Each of us picked out our wonderful outfits, including our Mickey Mouse ears for Disneyland tomorrow. As Sleepys, we are off to bed dreaming of the most magical place on earth!
With love, from the sleepies… Zzzzzz
