Kids

During this France trip I have spent a lot of my time enjoying my families company, however in the evenings I have been enjoying being 16 again.. I've been running around the campsite playing cops and robbers and other " kids games " I enjoying coming back down to earth a little bit when everything else in life gets a litte stressful. 

Hanging out with Jamie, Samuel, Adam, Charlotte and the other campsite kids has honestly been the best therapy for me. I have often struggles with stresses in my current life and coming to terms with growing up. In January I had a near melt down trying to cope with stress and I thought taking a trip to Germany would help as it normally always did. However i didn't feel healed like I normally do. This trip has been so good for me on so many levels... I have really enjoyed having fun, laughing, not stressing and enjoying everyday. 

At the beginning of the trip the kids were all very hooked on wifi and I tried to make a difference with that and introduce games and fun because wifi is can be such a life sucker..

As the " kids " have grown up a lot this year and there has been a big between the time I last saw them Charlotte and Samuel are a lot more mature now. Today Thursday 31st July went for a cycle with the Buckleys and saw some wonderful sites and had lunch in a little church, we came back and had dinner and afterwards played cops and robbers with the other campsite kids ( Alex, William, Maise, Sonny, mini Irish - Oliver, older Irish - Matthew Buckleys me and Jamie ) we also played a bit of 40-40 and ninjas and then just got to chatting. We all kind of split up as it got a little late. I went up to the wifi and sat separate from the wifi tent to get some space, Samuel came along and he sat down, we just started talking about random things and then we noticed the stars and moved down onto the bottom step to see them better. We just kept talking for about an hour or so, and we had the exact same thoughts and opinions on life which was really interesting. It was also interesting because as long as I can remember the Buckley kids have always been there and always been little kids, but Samuel and I had such a deep conversation you could really notice how much he had grown up, and how he thinks the same things I did when I was 15. It was one of my favourite times of the trip, really seeing someone in a different light and because we understood eachother so well it was such an easy conversation.
