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. |
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. |
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.

View from the top of the slope, not taken by me./ not our group |
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
