6th November

An extremely busy day today but so much to tell you all and it is already 1030 pm!

This morning we were picked up by the lovely Julie and Colin, what a great couple they are. Colin picked us up from the villa and drove us to their villa which is about 30 minutes away, really lovely, very bright and open plan. We then went to Target supermarket to pick up some Christmas decorations for our shift tonight which was Winter Wonderland, very much a Christmas theme this is held every week at the village as sadly some of the children may not see Christmas.  After a successful shop we went off to Downtown Disney to stroll around and buy a few other necessities, okay Christmas presents!  The highlight of this trip was Bibbidi Bobbidi  Boutique were young girls were made into their favourite princesses, hair, makeup, clothes, glitter, sparkle,  the whole works, all for the cost  of $55 to $195 but boy or even girl did they look good. a real little girls dream.

After Downtown Disney we went to Universal Boardwalk where they were filming a TV show along the lines of Oprah, a black guy who is also a comedian. We walked around and Jane and Viv picked up a couple of bits but to be honest we were all beginning to flag there and had to get home to get ready for our evening shift. The three of us still do not know how we managed to go tonight as the thought of putting  one foot in front of the other was proving a challenge .

Okay this evening, well the best night so far......

Jane and Viv were on reindeer antlers, this involved making and decorating the antlers for the children, they think they did approx 70, must have been a herd of reindeers.

Worryingly I was on games again, not rubber chickens this time but rubber fish. This consisted of two target baskets, a springboard like contraption that they placed the fish on, jumped on to see if they could land it in the baskets. Not as easy as it sounds but plenty of children gave it a go.

I am worringly getting recognised by quite a few of the children as the person they threw chickens down my pants!!

Now the person I think had the best time this evening was Julie, she was photographer's assistant , a most important important job as she had to follow the photographer all evening and write down the villa number for all the photographs that were taken. Each family receive all their photographs and any videos taken during their stay so this was a seriously important job. A true professional now Julie.

To sum up, the day was brilliant, how lucky are we.
