Halls Green

On Friday I went to Halls Green with the teen group from my church. It was lots of fun.

We went swimming, abseiling, climbing, a very muddy assault course, plus some wide games.

I shared a bedroom with five people. They were all mad!

I didn't manage to actually do the abseiling; I climbed up ok, but just couldn't quite bring myself to "sit down" over thin air, which is what you had to do to go over the top.

However one good thing was that my dormintory team won so I have a full stash of chocolate hidden in one of my shoes (can't say which one in case Samuel reads this!)

We also had a bonfire on the second night, complete with twelve bags of marshmellows! I'd also helped build the bonfire.

The wide game was, we were in two teams. First we had to get our stickers from team base to the other, without getting caught. I got so close to getting a sticker on but the whistle blew just as I got there! Then we had to go and find our team's "hider in the woods". I found the OTHER team's hider, but not ours!

Mum got stressed because my phone didn't work down there so I didn't text her every hour on the hour like she wanted me to!

I had a great time but I was glad to get to sleep in my own bed last night.

bowling and old hospitals

On monday I went bowling with the group. I'm not sure about the score but I know that on the first game I came fouth the seconed game I came second and the third game I came second. Not a bad score is it.

On tueseday we went on a trip to a old Operating Theatre. There were lots of things that were used back in the 19th century. There were also lots of tools there. We then listened to a talk on what it was like in the hospital. We were also gave us a demonstration on what suergy was like. One of the people was a bit to keen on cuting somone up.

partys galor

This has been one busy week.

On Friday it was Samuel's birthday. In the morning we watched Samuel opened his presents. And then it went mad. Mum was sorting out the food, Samuel and William were playing with Samuel's presents, i was downstairs looking after Jonathon and dad went out to do something.
When the guests arrived i was running back and forth opening the door checking on Jonathon repeat and so on. Now i know how mum feels.

Samuel opened his presents and we then went up to the the park. We played up there for a bit before coming back home where some more friends had arrived.

In the afternoon some schooled friends came round with more presents.

Old friends,Tutankhamun and the O2

On Sunday we went up to London to see some old friends of ours. It was a long journey but it was worth it.

As it turned out we got there early so we left a note and went to a nearby park. Now your bound to know what we are like in parks. We were ok at first but i ended up trying to strangle Samuel. You see there was a sort of sliding handle thing which you grab on to and slide across. Now i was taking a run up to grab it when Samuel who was not anywhere close enough to use it grabbed it just as i did. Because Samuel was holding on it didn't slid so flew of and Landed on my back. Ouch you must be saying and that's what i said along with other things i won't mention.

Yesterday the home ed group had a trip to the O2 building to see a showing of Tutankhamun.
It didn't take long to find our friends. We then played it until we joined the queue to go in.

I got a narrated walk though listing thing so i could find out more. It was amazing. To think it was all so old and it all had so much detail they had statues of people so realistic you could almost feel it was alive.

We didn't buy anything in the gift shop but we did go and had a drink.
