so much has happend....

So i was going to blog last night but i didn't really feel like it and i was very tired, i have a lot to talk about if i can remember it all...
so i had to get up at seven TUESDAY morning which is a first in a while :L and i was kinda dragging my feet to the youth centre at ten past eight, argggg :L
6kids, 2 adults (heh) and me and Jealer
Not our group but the wall we used.
once i got there i was fine and awake and happy, the moment i saw Sam. :) then the thought  of spending the day with him made me smile. whilst waiting for everyone to arrive he turned to me and said that for all of Tuesday my job was to supervise him, the kids could supervise them selves and it was him who had to be controlled :L this made me giggle (obviously a joke). as it turned out i was the only girl in a group of ten people, although I'm not going to lie and say i hated it, on some level i think i get on better with boys, less bitchy, snide comments, it was nice. was got there and anyone looked quite excited. Mike abandoned the bus in a random place and  we met shaq, he's from new Zealand and at this point i found out that Sam likes accents :L he tries to copy them but he doesn't always succeed, in this case he was pretty good at it thought and he was telling me how his brother convinced this girl that he was from new Zealand he tried to copy what his brother said but then said it wasn't as good. the first activity we did when we got there was climbing, i took photos instead, good plan.
 all the kids went up first and Sam and Adam Jeal had their turn at the same time although Adam was a bit ahead, they raced and Adam won. everyone got to halfway up the wall, most made it to the top but two of the kids were scared of heights and they did really well.

Again not our group but that's what it looked like.
We then went to go have lunch as it was quarter to twelve and we had a quiet ten Min's before they got the balloons out from under the table on which Sam was sat, like an idiot Sam had forgotten several things, his lunch a hat and a drink... Adam gave him a packet of crisps and i gave him my chocolate spread sandwich,  after lunch everyone went on this inflated pillow, including me, it was very bouncy and the kids took a while to get worn out.
out of all 10 people, 11 counting shaq. only on didn't go on... Sam :L hahaha




Not our group but our raft was almost exactly the same.

After spending about 45mins to and hour on that we went on to the raft build challenge :L all the kids had to take part and only mike and me didn't go in. i couldn't because the life jacket would go over my basoomas and mike didn't because he took pictures.to start with shaq got all the ropes and barrels out and told us to make a raft, the kids saw how they were laid out and thought to make a square raft as it had to fit everyone on. everyone got  the logs and laid them out. shaq then taught everyone how to do a pirate knot then told us to try all the other corners, this was partly successful, i did a know but it was wrong and Sam cam along to redo it... obviously. :LL

Shaq got them to float out into the middle, he then asked t o see if they could stand then the people on each side had to swap places, one by one.
By this point one side of the raft had broken as the barrels popped up through the logs. Adam and Sam  were sitting on them to keep the raft afloat.
Shaq then told everyone that if they wanted to jump in now was the time, Adam spent to next 15 minutes trying to wobble the raft so that Sam would fall in and eventually Sam gave up and jumped in, the water at this point was only up to his hips but it was funny none the less :L

Form here everyone got changed and we headed home. i got back just in time for dinner which was good as i was really hungry. :) good day all in all.

I was pleased to got up later on WEDNESDAY  as i didn't have to be at the youth centre until 10:30, i was awake at half past eight so i decided to get up and dressed as i knew i had to pack my bag for the day.
again not our group, we went during the day, but that's the ramp.
i made my way to the youth  centre again, more awake this time and saw sam again, maiking me smile. i saw this kid who wasn't with us teusday annd i knew him from school, i couldn't remeber what year he was in or his last name but i knew him as Owen, i turned to see adam and kyle walking in together, adam got in and saw owen and said "no, i'm spending the whole day with him, no way" as a joke and went to walk out. this was funny but it was one of those you had to be there things andyway mike counted everyone.... twice, and we got in the minibus. we headed for warmwell, as that's were the dry ski slope is.
View from the top of the slope, not taken by me./ not our group
As soon as i put on the boots I remembered that they start to hurt your feet quite quickly.  i was still in a pretty goor mood, on the downside though i didn';t like the lift that they had at warmwell so i got pretty exhausted from walking but i made it to the top and there was a great view,

there were only a few of us that new how to ski already so we got our stuff and headed up, starting with a basic snowboarding move called the falling leaf, where you sort of float down on the back edge of the board, going form left to right and lifitng your toes to keep in horizontal. unfortunatley the ramp was a bit sticky due the the weather, it being sunny, so  it was hard to do this maneover well. that was until we got some polish and it became eaiser. I think i did pretty well having not have done it in over 6 months it just ook time to get used to it. As per usual. i really enjoyed it and i was dropped off at the end of butts pond endustrial estate so i could walk, it was a shorter distance from there than from the youth centre. i said thanks and bye to eveyrone and walked home, it was earlier that the letter told but i didn't mind.

i was glad to spend a couple days doing something but it's nice to relax and update everyone on what i've been doing...

i dont'; know if i told either, but polly had a party planned ofr tonight, that's unfortunatley now not happning. oh well, i've got films to watch and games to play anyhow :L

i think thats about it from me, may post again tomorrow if i remember anything i forgot in this post.
Still pretty excited about holiday with katiee and my room is still pretty tidy...

Might go rollerblading later but i'm going down to get breakfast first. :) ^_^

PEACE... I'm Out Xx LY
