Hello I’m Aimee Johnson and I would like to use some of my time to tell you about my trip to Alton towers sit back, relax and of we go!!!!

On Saturday the 16 th August we were about to set off to Alton Towers when we heard a big bang outside. Mum rushed to the window & saw a bus had crashed into a tree. Mum shouted Dad to go & help as he is a fire fighter.

Dad got on the bus with our first aid kit & helped the injured passengers, one was badly injured. He gave the man first aid & helped the paramedics & air ambulance before the man was flown to hospital.

We got in our car & it wouldn’t start again so the police had to help us start it!

When we finally set of on the journey to stoke to our hotel called the Best Western Moat House. When we arrived, we went to the bar and had a quick drink and then me and my sister (Ellie) scurried to our hotel room to see what it was like, there was a bunk bed and a double bed. Later on my Mum and Dad arrived knocking on the door me and my sister were begging to go down and go in the swimming pool after about 5 minis of constant nagging they finally gave in and the next thing you know we were in the pool having races across the it (It was quite small) then my Mum and Dad went in the sauna and stem room me and Ellie weren’t allowed in because we are under 16. When we were fed up we jumped out and got dressed and dried. When we got back to the room it was about 5:00pm so we started getting ready for are tea. After we got ready we rushed down stairs to have some tea.

Me and Ellie had garlic bread for starters and my mum and dad shared some pâté and bits and bobs I think it was a platter anyway, for mains my mum had fillet fish, my dad had a massive steak pie I had chicken nuggets chips and beans and my sister had chicken nuggets chips and peas then for deserts me my mum and sister all had a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream EACH it was delish. Later we trundled up to the room and popped are pjs on and climbed into bed and watched TV for a bit and then we fell straight to sleep…….

Sunday 17 th august 2013 06:30am

We all got up at 06:30 so we could get ready and had a energizing breakfast for are big day out at Alton towers resort when we were ready we hurried down to get some breakfast I had some coco pops for start and then I had 2 sausage 1 bacon and a hash brown my sister had the same but rice crispy, my mum and dad had all sorts of stuff. Again the car wouldn’t start so we had to get someone to jump start it. After that we set of on are next journey to Alton towers.

We met all the other Travel Counsellors at Alton Towers, Mum said there was really nice people there from head office too.

Some were getting their T Shirts & tickets but my Mum already had them as we had been to head office on Friday to give a present to my Mums friend who was leaving to have a baby. So we got ours first.

We went through the gates and had to wait for everyone to have our picture taken. We walked all the way over to Blade which is a giant pirate ship that swings really high. It made my tummy go funny. Mum screamed. It was funny.

The photographer took pictures of us all on the ride and before we got on.

The next ride was Nemesis but me & Mum didn’t want to go on it. Dad & Ellie did & they liked it.

I went on Air with my Dad & Ellie, Mum doesn’t really like rides. We made my Mum que for over an hour for Sonic & she went on it. She felt really sick and didn’t like it at all. It was funny. We were being silly in the que so it went fast. Mum also went on the runaway train with us and she enjoyed that.

It got to lunch time so quick. We went into the room where Royal Caribbean gave us bags with sweet, cards and keyrings in. That was really kind. Mum also said they paid for the lunch which was yummy. I had a huge hot dog, pasta and some cheese. I had a minion painted on my hand by the people who were doing the face painting. I love minions my Mum does too.

I queued up for Rita with my Dad and Ellie. They told me at the beginning that I was tall enough for the ride and then when I got to the ride they said I wasn’t  so I queued up for nothing. Maybe when I go back next year I will be tall enough.

We all went on Hex it was a bit strange my sister really didn’t want to go on it but Dad said she had too.

Dad & Ellie went on Obivion & Rita without us. We all went on Charlie & the Chocolate ride and before we left we went on the Rapids.

We loved the rapids, I was the only one who didn’t get wet until we went past some people who were squirting water at us. They squirt it right at me and I was soaked. We all laughed lots.

We stayed at the Splash Landings hotel it was great we had a lovely meal in the secret garden restaurant.

We don’t get chance as a family to do much together as my Dad is always very busy and works away a lot. I don’t think we would have gone to Alton Towers if it wasn’t arranged by Travel Counsellors. I love spending time with I miss us all being together.

We had a new kitchen this year and a new bathroom last year so Mum said we can’t afford to go on holiday just yet. I am so glad we had a little holiday to spend together.

I love my Mum’s job working at home as she is always at school in the morning and at night so I don’t have to go to after school club. We also have plenty of time to walk our puppy Paddy who is a cocker spaniel. Mum and Dad said we wouldn’t be able to have a dog if it wasn’t for my Mum’s job.

Thank you Travel Counsellors for a lovely day!
