Our last day of the trip was spent having a blast at Six Flags. We rode rides and ate junk food and sweated and laughed. It was a fun day and some of us didn’t want it to end. The strange part is that it almost didn’t end. We were supposed to leave the park at 5:00 and about that time we learned that our bus had a flat tire in the parking lot and we had to wait until a mechanic could come and put our spare on. Some people headed back to the rides, others sought out shade and refreshments, others looked for air conditioning. The mechanic showed up around 7:30 and the bus was fixed around 8:00. We ate a quick bite at the nearest McDonald’s, changed clothes and hit the road. The best laid plans …
So we are on the road headed home and that’s all that counts. We are all very ready to get home to our families and our own beds.
This is a great group of kids and I greatly value the relationships that I have developed over the past week. I look forward to seeing each and every one grow into fine young men and women.
I hope these updates have been valuable to you as you watch and support us on our trip. I have enjoyed creating them each evening.
