Busy busy

Jam packed!

We’ve all loved today….it may have rained a little and the wind may have exceeded 30 mph at times but it hasn’t stopped us!

Briefly –

Breakfast, Giant Swing, Vertical Challenge and Aeroball!

Onwards….TO TEA!

Mr O

…not even a mouse.

 

MORNING ALL!

What are great first night. No tears, no arguments and no worries. Very well rested adults and children alike.

30 mins to go before we need to be getting up and with most rooms itching to go I don’t even think the rain will dampen their spirits!!

As an aside – most updates will be Mobile updates from now on as somebody forgot their laptop charger!

Mr O.

All settled in.

So, here we are…..LIDDINGTON.

 

The coach journey was shorter than expected and the voices louder.  Songs were spilling out of the children as if they’d already been to PGL; the beauty of older siblings.

Terry – our Groupie met us as we arrived.  He quickly showed us to our rooms and the children found out who they were rooming with.  Not a single complaint, smiles all round.

 

A safety talk, fire alarm practice and tour of the site came next with all children completely in awe of the site.  A few were surprised to find that deodorants would set off the fire alarm….as well as hair spray (Miss Whitehead) and with a number of net ball teams on site…who knows what the night may bring.

 

Before we knew it, tea time had arrived.  The menu….

  • Battered fish.
  • Chips
  • Peas
  • Sweetcorn
  • Pasta bake
  • Copious amounts of salad
  • Doughnuts
  • and fruit

“Delicious”

 

“Gorgeous”

 

“Full”

 

Food is always a firm favourite!

 

No time to waste, with over 1000 children on site we moved quickly on to Evening Ents and Wacky Races!

 

This involved our three teams wearing a hat racing, acting and just generally working really well together.  Highlight was watching as one child try to lay an imaginary egg; Mrs Aurelius and Mrs Hough complimented the realism of their pained expression.

The longest line – Miss Whitehead made good use of her hair!

Genuinely a fantastic first evening and the kids are loving it!  They’re tiring now though as a few have even asked to go to bed!  We still have Team names to decide, a bedtime story to calm us down whilst the tidiest room is judged but bed will come soon – followed sometime by sleep. Honest.

 

Night all……………….
