On the 4th day we decided
that we would go to the football coaching as I knew Tilly has enjoyed
it previously. This is a session run by an FA-qualified coach and
helps to build stills in ball control, team tactics, passing and
shooting.
Tilly was a little apprehensive at
first because when we arrived she was 1 of only 2 girls in a group
with almost a dozen boys (some of whom believed they were the next
Rooney or Messi), but once the coach got them all participating in
the different activities she loved it.

Billy bear joining in the fun |
The coached used different fun games
that all the children loved without realising that they where
improving their skills. The coach even got the parents involved and
gave us some advise on how to best support the children in the
future. At one point I had to go into goal as Tilly tried to score.
At this point I was torn as part of me wanted to win and save the
goal but my caring older sister side came out and I let the goal in
(I let it in honest!).

Tilly is so proud of her cirtificate |
After all the activities the children
played a game and the coach stopped the game a couple of times to
allow the all the children to get a chance with the ball. The
football was so much fun that even Billy bear came out to join in.
In the afternoon there was an awards
ceremony for all the children that took part in the football. Tilly
sat in the main pavilion and waited patiently, when her name was
called she walked up onto the stage and collected a certificate, pin
badge and medal. She was so excited and even took her medal to school
to show it of.

The show is a version of my favourite
Disney film but to a rock soundtrack. The show was quite literally
the highlight of my week, it was so unbelievably funny. There were
jokes aimed at all the family and at times I was almost in tears it
was that funny. The performers where all really good and my favourite
was widow Twanky. Throughout the show they encouraged the audience to
join in by booing when Abanarza came on and at the end they got
everyone up dancing.
