Carlingford

The night before carlingford was so stressful because i had no idea what to bring... and all my food wouldnt fit in my bag, i almost cried! haha. once i had packed i tried to get some sleep but i was way to exited. the next morning i woke up at about 6 because we had to meet in esso at about 7 way to early if u ask me but it was worth it because it meant we had more time in carlingford. the bus journey was fun we just talked about what we did for the weekend. after 2 hours we arrived at the centre we all met in the volleyball court for a meeting and a sign everyone rooms. all 8 of us manged to stay in the same room.
Our first activity was canoeing well all got changed and were on our way. there was about 12 in one kayak. we paddled all the way out to a rocky beach where there was a waterfall that would give you an extra day onto your life, but before we got there we walked up to it and on the way hannah stepped on a jellyfish it was soo funny! after everyone added a day to their life our kayak paddled over to the trampoline and we jumped on. we all paddled back to the beach we went for lunch the food was ok i guess.
After we all ate we went to a activity courses for team building. we all got into groups and started with a really fustrating challenge. lets just say from then on we werent all the best of friends haha! but we then did the maze which was pitch dark, couldnt see anything! gemma started out infront then i was behind her but that didnt last long because without anyone knowing all of a sudden amy was infront i had no idea where gemma had gone and then hannah scared me so much because she just apearred behind me out of no where. by this time we were lost but what really made the whole thing so funny was when amy had no idea there was a drop infront of her and fell half way down it with her legs just in the air i actually got such a fright i thought the poor child was after dieing or something but as i was calling her name all u could hear is a little laugh and we then knew she was fine so we pulled here up, what an idiot hahaha once we all made it out 'alive' we went on to finish our team building.
that night we all gathered at the volleyball courts again to find out what we were doing next. it turns out we were doing a thing called night line which was really scary but a lot of fun! the worst bit about it was that we had to walk up a hill to get there and it took some serious effort! but it was alot of fun. when we came back from the night line we all had so much energy, some of the girls got a chinese, but me and hannah went to get a chipper but didnt end up getting anything. we desided to go up and see where everyone is when we got there there was a lot of people. we waited ages for amys food but while we were waiting we decided to show Ms O'Callaghan the video to anaconda because we had been singing it the WHOLE day and well she wasnt very impressed but well all had a laugh at it even ms did, to top it all of in the middle of watching the video along came shauna. she ran straight into the wind making a loud bang, when all realised it was her we were in stitches laughin, it was so funny! after amy got her food amy shauna was ok we all headed back to were there was a disco on which was kinda bad at the start but gradually got better. it all started when anaconda came on and oh my god gemma and amy were going crazy! i couldnt stop laughing because i could see that Ms Leonard and Ms O' Callaghan were watching them and they were laughing too. that song came on a good few times and we went crazy every time.
when we all eventually got back to our rooms it didnt take long before everyone started to eat their food and for amy to fall asleep followed by hannah,amy h,aoife tyhen beth. which left orla, gemma and me. but after a while gemma feel asleep. no one could hear her anyways haha ,the poor thing had a really bad sore throat. orla and i stayed up a good bit after but we keeped walking up amy jackson and oh wow was she grumpy but it was so funny. to top the whole night off in the middle of a conversation all we could hear is aoife letting out this huge fart hahaha she was asleep and all.
the next morning was tiring but we all manged to go for breakfast. we then went on to doing some more kayaking which was really fun because when we went out to the trampoline again me and amy did a front flip at the same time. we have so much skill haha but it hurt like hell, so worth it though.
my favourite part of the trip was when we went laser tag. we all got to shot eachother. on the very last game i got really into it and all of a sudden i was being shot alot, when i died i got up to look at who was shutting me all i could see is Sarah McEvoy dancing and laughing at me,. she killed me for the 10th time and she was dead proud of herself too! i'll get you back one day sarah!
when it was finally time to go home we all slept on the bus but thats a sign that we all had an amazing time at Carlingford.
