Thursday was a great day, both weather-wise and for the Walk On Water Team. We started at our old favourites, Garden City, where we were greeted by one young man who had waited for months to be able to try his luck. He had seen the Balls on the website and was desperate to have ago, he finally got his wish! He was pretty good, particularly on his second go.
Several other small hamsters gave it their best shot – sadly none of them were really in the league of real hamsters. Better luck next time.
Second venue of the day was a return visit to Club la Costa’s Sunningdale. Again the resort had treated their lucky guests to hours of fun in the sun, in the balls!
Kezi, who first tried her luck in Monterey had two more goes and proved to be really, really good. So much so that her mum and dad, Kent and Tashala also tried their luck, though they were nowhere near as good as Kezi. Outstanding achievement mentions go to Ben, 10 and his brother Josh, 7. Josh was one of the best kids ever to try the challenge and went in 4 times. He was absolutely fantastic.
Not so brilliant, but great fun to watch were teenagers Rhoni and Vanessa who both went in twice, but failed to live up to Josh’s standard. Thanks also to Sarah, one of the animation team at Sunningdale – she was so hot when she emerged from her ball that she dived straight into the pool, forgetting she had no change of clothing! She had another go in an effort to dry off!!
Cuties of the day had to be Lauren and Saskia, both aged 5, they were absolutely adorable and really tried – to several oohs and aahs from onlookers!
Final mention has to go to Jake, he went in 3 times and was brilliant, he egged his dad to have a go. Typical of the older generation, he let us down and was rubbish!
