The Wesley Bell Ringer 2022 Summer Tour Day 13

Sedro-Wooley, WA to Leavenworth, WA

Day 13

Today we woke up at Comfort Suites and loaded the bus. and headed to Burlington for lunch. The kids recharged by the Tesla recharging stations! We then traveled to Leavenworth to go rafting on the river with Orion Rafting. It was fun because Gina's daughter Kelly was one of the leaders on the raft. It was a fun trip for all and the only ones who landed in the river did it by choice, we didn't have anyone unintentionally fall out into the river! We have fewer pictures because we wanted to save our phones, so we will share what we have below. After rafting we went to our hotel and then had dinner. The seniors ate dinner with Katie while the rest of the group chose where to eat. Leavenworth is a small town that makes you feel like you traveled to Germany, so it is a lot of fun. A final bit of laundry was done in the evening. It was a very fun day for everyone!

Dearest Reader,

Today, the 23rd of June, in the year 2022, the group known as the Wesley Bell Ringers, which includes myself and 19 other ringers and several more chaperones woke up at a hotel to board the bus which has been affectionately named "Larry". Upon boarding Larry, we set off upon our adventure to the beautiful town of Leavenworth, Washington, which is a quiet little town that is themed to be in the style of stereotypical German culture, (no, not that period of Germany) which meant many jokes in intentionally terrible German accents. In Leavenworth, we set sail down a river in small inflatable floating vessels, an activity which the locals call "rafting", which was quite exhilarating and left us all quite exhausted. Upon concluding said activity, we headed back to our hotel, where we were allowed to wander the town, and the group of seniors in the choir had the traditional senior dinner. The dinner was quite good, and we all had quite an enjoyable experience.

Thank you for reading,
