Butlins with Owen & Pat

Having settled in we had dinner at a lovely pub in Butlins and our excited party went to see the show of “Rock of Ages”. It was an awesome show and we all got up and danced to the music. The girls were lucky enough to get hugs from the band! We then enjoyed the following band which was great fun. They allowed us on stage for a boogie.

Waking to a glorious day, we went for a walk along the beach. We got some fun photos with giant beach balls and sunbeds. Next we were off to the golf course for a crazy time seeing who the best adventure golfer was. Lunch was taken and it was time for the funfair. Everyone had a go on the bumper cars, which was great fun. Matthew and Simon go-karted and did some fast lap times! It was time for dinner at an Italian, so we got changed for dinner and the “Michael Jackson” show that followed. It was thrilling and we did a lot of dancing.

The following day, after a good breakfast, we started with a game of 10 pin bowling. It was girls vs boys and the girls won!! Lunch was taken and then we watched the pantomime which was very funny and entertaining. We relaxed before dinner and then saw the “Rolling Clones”. We danced the night away and finished the evening in a pub where we bumped into the Stones. They gave us hugs and we got some good photos of the group and enjoyed a drink with them. We were lucky to meet Kim and Elton too and made plans to see them the next evening.

In the morning, some of us went swimming, enjoying the thrill of the rapids, flumes and the fountains. Chris and Matthew were really having a great time on the flumes and the faster the better. Others went to the cinema and saw “Despicable Me 2”. It was hilarious. After lunch we had another game of 10 pin bowling before getting ready for dinner at our favourite Italian restaurant and then enjoying our last evening of entertainment. We saw “Tom Jones” and “Tina Turner”. Everyone was up on their feet and we all had a fantastic time.

Our last day, we packed up and started our journey home. On the way we stopped off for lunch in a wonderful country pub and continued on our homeward journey. We had all had such a lovely time and it was all thanks to a super group.
