Wow what a first day!! Group 1 went orienteering around the Peel utilising some super mapping skills whilst group 2 went on an adventure to Beecraigs where they put their waterproofs to excellent use!<\/p>\n
After lunch we headed out to roll down every hill we could possibly find beside the palace before walking the 2.5 miles around the loch where Alex and Jake spotted some particularly interesting trees and dens that were itching to be explored and climbed!<\/p>\n
Along the way we spotted many swans and ducks and were delighted to come across lots of baby signets and ducklings! We thought that we were going to have to take a couple of geese home with us as they waddled along behind our line!<\/p>\n
After our walk we had some time relaxing and unpacking in our rooms. The girls quickly organised their bedding and displayed their things neatly…whilst in the blue corner we were rescuing some of the boys who were trapped inside their duvet covers with puzzled looks on their faces – don\u2019t worry, we sorted it all out in the end \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n
Dinner was, in the children\u2019s words, masterchef worthy!! They tucked into homemade vegetable soup and bread then chicken, gravy, chips and sweet corn, Liz and Julie in the kitchen are looking after us just fine!<\/p>\n
After dinner Mrs Gingell joined us for fun on the Peel during our downtime and the sun came out again for us! \u00a0Mrs Gingell then set about helping us with supper and sorted all the toast which we enjoyed alongside hot chocolate and mini malteaser traybakes.<\/p>\n
Absolutely no issues with bedtime – after clocking up an average of 20,000 steps (and that was just us adults), the children cuddled down with their books and teddies and we\u2019ve not heard a peep since 10pm! Fabulous!! \ud83c\udf1f\ud83c\udf1f\ud83c\udf1f<\/p>\n
Hope you\u2019re enjoying the photos – look out for more tomorrow, night night everyone!<\/p>\n
P.S. we noticed that some parents might not be following us on Twitter, would those of you who do, mind directing them to our blog and Twitter for updates (to see clearer images of photos – follow the link back to the safety of our blog). Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
