Two of the best days of my life.

Hey there!
    Im new on this blogging thing, so go easy! For the first blog i have ever wirtten, i thought I'd write about our first trip as a TY year to Carlingford. They were truely two of the best days of my life! It all started off on a brilliant monday morning, we were all bright eyed and bushy tailed.. Oh who am I kidding, it was seven in the morning and we showed no signs of awarness!
    That was until we got on the bus.. Where the real banter began! We were like a pack of over-excited hyenas, awaiting the real journey to begin.. We shouted and sang and enjoyed the excitement we all shared on that cool, Monday morning.
    As we arrived, we tore across the grass, fighting for best room.. We were greeted by four smiling faces, who we realised were used to this bright eyed bushy tail thing.. And the race began.. We ran for Ms. Leahy, tyring to get rooms with our mates..
    We were called for our first activity, Kayaking. Kayaking was mad craic, and enjoyed by everyone. We all added another day to our lasting lives by standing underneath a teeth chattering waterfall, which gave everyone brain freeze.. We then went for a swim before returning to our boats.
    The next activity was high ropes... We all experienced the "falling off" feeling when on top of the 35' wooden pole. It was hilarious! It was never ending gigling coming from each and every TY..
    That night we all took a walk up cardiac hill.. No kidding, it was hidious! Once we managed to get to the top, the wait was worthwhile.. We were blindfolded and told to follow a rope around the forrest.. Of course nearly all of us ran around like headless chickens after stepping on some furry thing.. It couldnt be described as an animal! God knows what it was! We will never find out either.. Hmm..
    The next morning, we did an activity called challenge.. We split into groups and went around completeing chalenges for gems.. It was mad craic! Our team had an instructor called Leslie.. He was a pure legend!
    After that we took a stroll up cardiac hill.. ONCE AGAIN! (I mean, as if once wasnt enough!) However this time it was different.. We had a class time shooting each other with laser guns, attacking and defending our team mates, bonding and becoming closer and closer by the second..
    All too soon, it was time to go.. We loaded up the bus and waved goodbye to the instructors..
    It has been a week since we returned.. I miss Carlingford! All in all, it was a brilliant experience with all my classmates.. We all hope to return there this Mid - Term! :D
