Slow mornings, strong serves, and sunsets: Day 9 🌅🏐🐎

Idaho Ranch

We’ve had a beautiful stretch of slower days here on tour, the kind that let everyone breathe, laugh, and soak in the simple joy of being together in a truly special place.

Day 9 kicked off with something every teen on the road dreams of: a late morning and a pancake breakfast! After many early starts, the group appreciated the chance to sleep in and ease into the day.

The highlight of the morning? A spirited volleyball tournament that had everyone cheering. In a closely contested final, the Spies edged out the Hippie Hitters, with Ford delivering a standout performance. The friendly competition brought lots of laughs and a little bit of friendly bragging rights.

The afternoon stayed relaxed and joyful, filled with pickleball, spikeball, and peaceful walks under a wide-open sky. As the sun began to set, the group gathered for a classic campfire evening: grilled hot dogs, golden s’mores, and plenty of stories passed around the firelight.
