Following a simple ferry journey (where fortunately no sick bags were needed!) finally we had arrived in the Isle of Wight! Mr Ball was delighted that having no passport was not an issue although the coach driving on the same side of the road did raise an eyebrow or two!
A short 'go compare off' - with Billy a clear winner, and we had arrived at our hotel. Children all unpacked and settled in, the inclusion of TVs in the rooms was a particular highlight! (who knew we had so many 'pointless' fans!)
After a lovely first meal we explored the nearby beach where children played in the sand! Fast forward to now, 17 sandy children, enjoying Despicable Me' in 'The Den'. Tomorrow we're off to Alum Bay but for now it is time to say good night. Please do feel free to leave any messages, the children will be thrilled to read them!
Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. Olly - we're all missing you, especially Bob and Bert who are wondering who will feed them now (granny's showing little sign of movement in that respect). Hope you have a fantastic time tomorrow. And (message from mum) don't forget to brush your teeth... PROPERLY! Lots of love from Mum, Dad, Granny, Beth, Freddie, Bob and Bert XXX

ReplyDeleteHi Ned
ReplyDeletePleased you are having a great time. The house is really quiet without the endless thumping of a football against the living room wall. A Liverpool scout called last night but we said you were only interested in playing for Everton.
Enjoy your day out today. Love Mum and the gang xx.
Hello Mia, what an adventure already! Did you get to hold a star fish too? I bet you did, your much more brave than me! Have an excellent day today at Alum Bay, i love it there.... i seem to remember going down to the cove in a cable car to make a glass castle with coloured sand inside when i was your age. Think my mum still has it ha ha!! Lots of love to you Mia, look forward to reading the next chapter of the Cameron Class adventure. Huge cuddles and kisses from Frankie and Poppy and of course from Daddy and me too xxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Thaila and everyone, sounds like great fun. Glad I didn't have to deal with 18 sandy kids!! Hope you are all being kind to Mrs Pape and Mr Ball. Looking forward to hearing about Alum Bay. Louis was most put out when he went home and found another puppy in his residence to put up with. I think he wanted to come back to our house.

DeleteHi Chris
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your having a great time & the photos look great, i hope you've been taking some yourself. We have all been missing you very much, especially Amy who asks when your coming back at least three times a day! Make sure you have lots of fun, we can't wait to hear about what you've been up to next. Love Mum, Dad, Lewis, Amy-louise, Rocky and Smudge x x x
Hi Erin,
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying yourself. We would have sent you a message earlier but mum struggled to work out how to do it without you here to show her. Charlie is not back to school yet as he is still not very well.We miss you.I dont think the birthday cake will keep until you get back so I will have to eat it all. See you soon.
Dad, mum, Charlie and Ben xxxx
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a fab time in the Isle of Wight. The school is very quiet without you (not that I'm surprised!). I hope you had fun at Alum Bay and that you made me a rainbow sand thingy. Enjoy your activities tomorrow, I'm sure Moore Class will have plenty they want to say to you when we read the blogs tomorrow.
