I managed to take a few pictures on my phone even though we were out of service. As well as studying, we played lots of pool........
The first day wasn't very sunny but there was a mint sunflare over the water! Even though my camera didn't pick it up very well........
In the morning we went for a run, and me, Todd and Andrew (aka Rambo) attempted to run to the river but it was to far away. Ally, one of the leaders, said she'd walked for at least an hour and not found it. So that set us going. We ran all the way to the river and back in about 40 minutes! And it was about 8 km at least too! I kid you not! We got serious cramp afterwards....
Next morning Rambo foolishly decided to sleep in. We were all awake and up, so we decided to play a little prank. They wrapped up his sleeping bag so he couldn't escape and dragged him down to the beach and left him there. Seeing as his sleeping bag wasn't waterproof we were kind enough not to manhandle him into the ocean
This is us fleeing from Rambo......
This was the neighbors random, beached out caravan. Kinda reminds me of Relient K. It's such a summery cd!
This is Andrew (aka Outback Jack), who is one of the MacKay's many cousins. He's pretty cool, and believe it or not he's actually younger than me! He came with us to Parachute this year. After we'd done that trick to Rambo, and again to Meredith (only we just dumped her in the bushes), Johan decided it was time to get his own back......
He didn't get as far as the ocean though, just dumped him in the shallows. Needless to say, Andrew wasn't too pleased with his only pair of pants getting all wet. Luckily it was such a hot day.
After lunch and when we'd all packed up we started going for a big long walk along the rocks. It was beautifully sunny and I wanted to go swimming, like we did on the first day. Instead we just through some random rocks into the ocean..
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of this one but I have one more adventure to tell. We were just about to leave when Sam (another one of the MacKay's cousins) discovered he lost his phone so he ran off to the rocks to go find it. We waited around for ages, but then we decided to go to find him. Outback Jack got the binoculars and saw him down by the rocks. So we unhitched the trailer, and sped down on the sand to go pick him up.
We were going all fine but then the beach got narrow, so Brian attempted a turn. Bad idea. The car skidded, and got stuck.
We had a go at pushing it out - but it just skidded in deeper. By now Sam had got back to us. Brian put some mats under the back wheels, and we pushed the front really hard. Just as I thought we'd be stuck forever, the car rocked backwards, and free of the dip. So we all piled back on, headed back to where we'd left the trailer, hitched it back on, then headed home.
It was the epicest weekend ever! (Apart from Parachute...)
