The Magic Fairy Water of Scotland

While in Scotland, Uncle Fergie told us a great story about the fairys that live on the Isle of Skye. Apprently, the Fairy Kingdom is in the hills of Skye, and the King and Queen of the fairys live there. This hill is right next to a waterfall, and the legend goes, that every day at dusk, the King and Queen come to the top of the waterfall to bathe and drink from the brisk water. And Uncle Fergie said that if we hike up to the top of the waterfall and drink the water and make a wish, then the fairys will grant our wish. However, we could not swallow the water until we hiked back down the hill.

 It was a wet and muddy day, but we were always up for an adventure, so we pile out of the sexy bus and make our way to the top. My shoes were very muddy, and I kept sliding all around, but I finally got to the top.

So here is the waterfall. It was so beautiful!!!! I didnt see any fairys though.

And here me and my classmates are drinking from the magic fairy water. The water was really cold, but it was fresh and tasty.

So I get my mouth full of water and then make my way back down hill. It was sooooo muddy, adn really slipery going down. I went slowly, but by this time my shoes were covered in mud. I am almost down to the bottom, and I turn to go around a picnic bench, but then, disaster strikes! I take one wrong step, and I sink into the mud! I was up to my knees and I couldnt get out. I was stuck pretty good. And mind you, that my mouth is still filled with water, so I couldnt even shout for help. I try to wiggle my way out, but I just keep sinking deeper into the mud. I was a little worried at this point. But then thankfully, Kory is walking down the hill and sees me in distress. He comes to my rescue and tries to get me out. He stood on the picnic bench and tried to pull me out. His mouth was full of water too. Anyway, I was stuck in there pretty good, so it took a few tries. In fact, as he was pulling, the picnic bench started to sink too. But after a bit, I was freed from the mud.

So Kory and Iget back to the bus, make our wishes and the swallow the water. And all I was thinking at that point was that my wish better freaking come true!!!!

So this is me back at the bus, and I am not only covered in mud, but now I am all wet from the rain. When I got back to the bus, everyone laughed at me, especially Uncle Fergie. But after he had his fun pointing his finger, he actually felt bad, so he then took my shoes and washed them off in the river. He also got my suitcase out of the trunk so I could change my jeans.

Even though I got a bit dirty, this was perhaps my favorite experience from Scotland! I had a blast getting stuck in the mud, and how often do you get to drink magical fairy water? I will remember this day for years to come!!!

And, I am glad I did this, because the fairys kept their promise and my wish came true that very night!
