This is the second day of the camp.

This is my instructor Ross on the right and Niamh the pamel on the right.

We were doing single kayaking in the morning and wind surfing in the afternoon.

But none of us got the hang of it so everyone just gave up. 

I don't know which group that is but that is not my group.

But I will explain what is going on.

There are some sailing boats being dragged up to the hill.

There are some kayaks and surfboards in the water that have to be brought up to the pile. 

That is a picture of me and Lucy dragging up the windsurf boards.

kinsale trip 1

 

 

I went to Kinsale.

Kinsale is in county Cork.

We left for Cork at 9 am.

It took 2 to 3 hours to get there and we stopped to see this castle.

When we got to Kinsale we ate dinner at 5 after shopping and checking out the apartment were staying at.

Then we went back to the apartment to check in.

Our number was 14.

Then around eight thirty we went to bed.

The next day we went shopping at super value.

We bought that drink you see me drinking.

Then we walked around the small town.

We went to this park and we walked up a hill that took forever to get down.

Then we stopped for ice cream.

I got snicker ice cream.

There was peanuts in it.

This is a picture of us getting our boots at the beginning of the day.

This is a picture of me on a pony called Pepsi.

I was trotting and then cantering.





This is me leading Pepsi back to the Pen.

This was after the lesson.

 

 

I went to camp.

I was in the D group.

Which is the second last group.

But then I moved up to the C group.

And I did canter.

summer party

 We went to the summer party.

I didn't want to go.

When we got to the hotel we went to look around and kikin and grant went to play some games.

I got candy floss.

It was pink.

after eating we went on the obstacle course bouncy castle.



Then we went the ball section.

It was full of balls.

While grant and sister was in the ball section I got my face painted.

I asked for the irish flag and when I got that done the woman asked do I want flowers and I said yes.

Then sister went to get her face done.



later on the day we got soft cream.

I got a soft cream with a flake and blue sauce.

this is the obstacle course.

I won all my races against the others.

partly because grant can't do one of the obstacles.

 

 

 

I ate corn on a cob with some cheese.

Then I ate 2 cookies.



july 4th

 These are chocolate cakes with the July 4th colours.

They are yummy.

The heart ones are like a sandwich.

 

 This is a slush puppy cup.

Kikin got it for her birthday from a friend.

You have to freeze the cup for 6 hours.

Then you pour the drink in.

we poured in lemonade.

Then if it is dairy in you freeze it again for 4 to 6 minutes.

if carbonated freeze for 4 to 6 minutes.

Then you squeeze the cup until the drink becomes a slushy.

ours was just ice.

But we enjoyed.

 

We did nothing today because we didn't have a car.

We had to pick up the car in the rain so that meant we had to walk with umbrellas and I had to share one with mummy.

chocolat

We watched a movie called Chocolat.

It is about a mother and her daughter going country to country opening a chocolatier and then leaving.

The mother Vienne and the daughter Anouk go to a small village in France.

They come on a Sunday when everyone is at church so the village is empty.

They rent a small house.

The bottom floor is the chocolatier and upstairs is the bedroom.

They clean the place up and hang up a sign: Chocolatier Maya.

After cleaning up, Vienne boards up all the windows with newspaper so no one can see the shop until opening day.

When opening day a women and the mayors assistant son/ landlady grandson visits the shop.

but this was during lent so the boy Lou couldn't eat the chocolate Vienne offered.

But the women decided to have chocolate.

Vienne asked the women what did she see in the disk she was spinning.

The woman said she saw a man riding a horse.

Vienne said I know just the chocolate for you and gave a chocolate the woman liked.

Then the lady left and Lou was offered hot chocolate.

I am only going to tell you that much so if you want to know you have to watch the movie.

 

I liked the movie and thought it was good.

july 3rd

this is a picture of a bracelet I made.

It is for my mum.

It is watermelon themed if you haven't guessed already.

the black hearts are meant to be the seeds,

the bracelet is a little too big because I accidently stretched out the band too much.

my mum really likes the idea and she found it on pinterest.

I had to the hexafish with hearts pattern.

I hope you guys like it too.

july 2nd

we were playing the ipad.

We were all playing fish out of the water.

It is an addicting game.

The ice cream is yummy.

it has real meringue bits in the ice cream.

july 1st

Today we went to Howth.

Howth is south of Belfast.

Howth is near the Leinster B swimming gala and the Tesco extra.

Those sheets of paper were things to look out for for our scavenger hunt.

 

After walking around the town we went to the park.

The park was full of little kids.

There was swings and slides.

Then we went to Mauds café.

We looked at the ice cream flavours.

I wanted to get blue surf.

I got a purple spoon.

But there was no one there so one of the workers said two minutes but it took for like 10 minutes.

We left because we couldn't get any ice cream.

But before that we went to eat lunch.

I had a sandwich and pasta and brazil nuts with water.

We ate in front of the car.
