Xtreme

On wedneday we went to the xtreme adventure centre in Swords. When we arrived we were put into groups and in my group was the second half of Belle. The first thing we did was we had to climb a 25ft foot pole and get up on to the tiny platform on the top. Once all four people were up you had to jump off. In my team were Aoife, Cliodhna, Ella and myself. I climbed up first and oh my god it was terrifying. I couldn't look down cause I literally would have died. Once I was up, Aoife came up next. When she got near the platform, I had to pull her up on to the platform. Then Cliodhna and Ella came up and when there was four of us up we jumped off. It took us about a hour to do. There was lots of screaming and a few tears but we actually managed to do it!!!!

After the climbing thing, we went zipwiring and we did a high rope obstacle course. I loved doing both of them they were so much fun. I've never laughed so much while doing them.

After the activities, we went to liffey valley and Molly, Eve and myself got eddies which was soo goood.

Retreat

On Wednesday we went to Maynooth University for a retreat. We go on retreat every year and usually there quite boring so I wasn't really expecting much. When we got there the instructors introduced themselves and then started explaining the game "teeth". Basically we had to sit with our arms linked in a circle and the "dentists" had to pull us apart. I was linked next to Molly and Meadhbh and when Molly got pulled out, I was next. It was the funniest thing ever seeing everyone getting dragged out. Next game we played I can't remember what it was called but basically the instructor called out a number and you had to get into groups of that number. Near the end there was only a couple people of left so to determine the winner, we had to do a piggyback race and a wheelbarrow race. Aoife and I were together and we came second. It was probably one of the funniest things ever. 

After all the games we got given questions. My groups question was " if you died tonight what would you regret not saying and to who?" it got really deep and everyone got a bit emotional:)) 

The retreat was soo good and im definitely hoping we get to go next year!!

Swim a Mile

On Wednesday, our year went to the national aquatic center to take part in swim a mile. Swim a mile is a charity swim in aid of crumlin hospital and barretstown. When we arrived at the aquatic center we got changed and headed down to the pool. We got into our teams, in my team was Pia, Jane, Molly, Ella, Eve, Amy J and myself. We did the mile in about 20 mins. I actually was surprised I could do it.. We decided to do a second mile cause we were finished early. 

After the swim we went to blancherstown and got mcdonalds which we get on basically every trip:))
