Nov. 29th “Are we there yet???”

Ok, today we set out on a road trip to move from Southern Ireland to Northern Ireland where we were scheduled to meet our new host families. It seemed like we drove and drove and drove, but it was nice that ¾ of the way through we stopped at an activity center where they had set up a group for all the pony clubbers! Now we hadn’t any idea what we were going to do but they told us to put on the rock climbing harness and helmets. (At this point you might be thinking rock climbing but mind you there are no rocks other than what were laying in the pond). We set out on a hike over a bridge and through the forest, where we found our play ground, but it was not on the ground.......... it was way up in the sky from tree to tree! You started by climbing a rock wall, then once you got to the top you had to go a crossed a swinging bridge where you arrive at the vines, you walk a crossed a rope and grab vines (random ropes) to balance yourself, once you crossed that, you came to the broken bridge.... you had to jump from panel to panel you then came to another rope that you walked a crossed then last but not least the zip line perhaps every ones favorite. Although most of the kids weren’t thrilled by the experience, I had a blast! When we arrived at our final destination for the day, we were shocked! It was literally a mansion right out of “Pride and Prejudice”. The house was absolutely amazing and HUGE!!! Ok, off to bed, early start in the morning, good night! Thank you so much for all your hard work at home!
