Somehow whenever we leave the house we find something weird. We had the Flower Thief yesterday and today the marching nurse. Surely they must teach her this in training. She was running yet walking - it was a super fast march! Scary to have that scene making a bee line for us.
Somehow our conversation the whole way to town turned into "How Pokemon influences our childhoods" chats. Penguins first Pokemon card was a shiny Jigglypuff and Bears was a shiny Charmander. We grabbed our lunch before heading to the station and went to Gregg's for our favourite sandwiches and brownies, but found cupcakes with heart rings! We couldn't leave them there for someone else to find, we just had to have them!
Why do we need so much luggage for a day of canoeing? I think they were mainly full of drinks and towels! As we were smart enough to know us and water wont mix for too long!
We finally made it to Chatham and the Prince's Trust. Before we went out for our main activity we played some mini-games. We played a game where you have to pair up and hold sticks ready someone to walk over. It was really hard but easier than you would first think. We did some skipping games and had to get all our team through a roped web tied to trees. We had to lift people through, organise who was going through what hole and work out the best order.
Today it was Canoeing. Penguin didn't want to wear any waterproofs as she is a penguin but Bears do not like getting their fur all wet and dived into one.
We all helped get the boats off the trailer and paired up. Penguin went with Jaz one of the instructors and Bear went with Bryn. Penguins sail was much more educational than Bears. Jaz taught Penguin lots of canoe skills (Sweep Stroke, Forwards Paddling, Backwards Paddling, Pry Stroke and Draw Stroke) and Captain Bear merely dabbled in them and then went for POWER with Commador O'Neill, but it was excellent fun!
We played a game of water polo. We had Team Pork Chop and Team Beef Cake. As its Bear writing and i still don't have much of an idea how you play but Team Pork Chop won 4-0 and Lisa scored the last goal by diving and throwing herself into the water while capsizing. It was amazing! The waterproofs turned out to be entirely pointless as everyone was drenched from top to bottom! I mean there wasn't a dry point anywhere!
After a busy day and a long walk in front of us Bear decided to grab a last minute Shortbread Star covered in white chocolate and sprinkles. It was delicious.
