In the holidays I had to go to a holiday programme called H☺liday Fun. I only was there the second week of the holidays, Tuesday and Thursday. In the morning of Tuesday I had to get up and go to my friend Shelley’s (Mrs Prescott) house at 7:00am I stayed there a little while and then she took me to the programme. We drove in a van to Hamilton Zoo where we got to see the new baby rhino. On the Thursday, well let’s say it was my favourite part of the holiday because we went to Baywave!

In the holidays I went to KRAZY DEALZ and I saw Tapuni. When I saw her I found a toy chicken leg and squeezed it and it squeaked. Then Tapuni and I ran away because it was loud and laughed.I came with my uncle and my sister. My sister bought a hat and a couple of Santa chocolate. After a while I bought mine I bought the same as Janine.
Finally I got home and had a swim.
I felt like a water monster.

On the Sunday of the first week of the holidays it was lily’s birthday. At 7:00 Lily and I went in to grandmas room and we sang happy birthday to her. After I gave her the present and she ripped it open right away. There was a dreamy eyes giraffe, a Dora coloring in book and pens. Next grandma gave Lily her present it was a Barbie cd player, two tops and two books. Later when we had gotten dressed Lily, grandma, grandpa and I jumped in the car and drove to Hamilton zoo to meet grandma’s friend Helen. As soon as we arrived at the zoo we couldn’t see Helen anywhere so we drove to dress mart and look in farmers and Lily saw same baby alive nappies and grandma bought her them then we look at smiggle and grandma bought me a purple penguin rubber. Next we hoped in the car and drove back to the zoo to meet Helen and her grandkids. After we paid Helen, grandma, and I bought some lunch for as. Then we looked at the animals. My favorite animals were the giraffes, lions, rhinos and the rainbow cockatiel. When we had finished looking around at the animals we walked back to the zoo entrances and Lily, Helens grandkids and I played on the playground while grandma bought the ice blocks. After we had our ice blocks we all looked in the souvenir shop and Helen told as “ if I have enough money in my hand I can by you something if you want “ I picked a cute tiger toy lily chose a pink monkey

In the holidays I went to my Nan’s house. Nan drove us to Hamilton and we shopped for some clothes.

On Tuesday we visited the Matamata town pools. We paid about $3 dollars each. When we walked inside the pools we saw Matthew, Jayde, Ethan and Moana! My three cousins also joined at the pools. Their names are Waka, Aniwa, Loreal. They were a bit scared because there was a big balloon train with lots of big, scary parts, like a bump that looked like an octopus and also a rugby post! We were able to jump over it! Afterwards, we went to the fish and chip shop for lunch. Yummy!

On Friday it was my Mum’s birthday and on that day my aunty had a baby boy. When the doctor pulled the baby out of my auntie’s tummy it wasn’t breathing, so the doctor sent for an expert.

The expert arrived and saw that the baby wasn’t breathing. So he pushed the baby’s heart. It took the expert four to five minutes to save the baby. The baby started to breathe all by itself!

The next day the doctor moved my aunty out of the emergency room and in to a different room on the other side of the hospital. After my aunty moved room’s she went to look at her baby called Liam. In a week she can come back home.

On Saturday I travelled to Auckland with my cousin to attend Armageddon. Our GPS unit led us precisely to the ASB showground’s. Armageddon is an annual event where you can see any character off any movie.

There was also an Xbox 360 convention where you could enter competitions and win games! People danced to Bad Romance by Lady Gaga and two lucky kids, who joined in, won Just Dance 3!

Next, I walked to the PlayStation convention and played on the PS-Vita (that hasn’t came out yet – it was exclusive to the event).

Later, my cousin Trinity and I jumped into the Laser Web! The object is to touch the red lasers and avoid the green lasers. Sometimes the red lasers turn into green and the green lasers turns into red. Trinity and I touched most of the red lasers and we nearly scored the most points out of all of the competitors.

I had a great time in Auckland!

In the holidays I played on my PS3. The video game I played was Call of Duty (C.O.D.) Black Ops. My online I.D. is NzMan! I prestiged 4 times and helped my dad level up to level 38. We’re close to prestiging 5 times! Next, we were playing on nuke town (it’s a map if you don’t know) and I was using the AK47 with the attached silencer. It’s an assault rifle and our team-mates and I claimed victory. It was the most epic victory ever! =)

The Holidays

On Saturday we drove to the stock cars in Tauranga. We had an excellent seat, at the front, in the corner. While we were watching, a car rolled! BOOM! Luckily, the driver was fine but we ended up splattered with wet, muddy clay. Then, we walked to find a hotdog to eat. The lady gave us free chips.

On the 5th of November there are fireworks in Tauranga and Huntly! I will watch the explosions and it will be FUN!

My Recount.

On Monday it was Halloween. My friend and I ventured out trick or treating. It was amazing. Although we didn’t receive many lollies it was still lots of fun. Afterwards, we ran home. I’d only just settled down after my night collecting candy when Mum said “Bedtime!” While I was walking to bed, Mum stole some of my lollies! THIEF!

In the Holidays I travelled to Hastings. We drove in a van. My mum and dad came with me. Before I walked off to bed I watched the rugby word cup with the All Blacks against Australia. My Dad was yelling at the TV!

We were in Hastings to see my Nan and my older brother. I only stayed at my Nan’s for two days. When I walked down the hallway I heard my brother singing in the toilet! I told my brothers and sisters. They started laughing! Then, I went outside to play with the rugby ball. I accidently kicked the ball over the fence! I had to go over and knock on the door and ask for it back. But, I was scared so I made my friend go over! When I finally arrived back inside it was teatime. My favourite part of the day! We had fish and chips for tea. Mmmmmm, yummy! I love them so much, especially with fresh white buttered bread and Wattie’s tomato sauce. I’d had a big day but it was great and I jumped into bed with a smile on my face.

In the holidays Michael popped over to my house. He arrived at 10:00 in the morning. We both had our PSPs and played them for ages. I ripped up the tracks on ‘Midnight Club’ and Michael caused havoc in ‘Pursuit Force’.

Michael said, “We need food!” or something like that. I agreed. We ate Chinese noodle bowls, yummy! After dinner, we jumped back on our PSPs and played throughout the night. We also played with Michael's phone. We listened to music and took pictures of ourselves!

My Holidays
In the holidays our family drove to Te Aroha for our cousin’s (Piata’s) birthday. This happened to be the last Saturday of the holidays. He had just turned five and for his presents his mum bought him two basketballs and a Nerf gun! William and I grabbed the orange basketball and played shoots. William won! He scored the most goals. The Nerf gun was yellow with blue stripes. You loaded it by inserting the darts into the nozzle of the barrel. With a fully loaded magazine my cousin ran around and caused havoc! When he was playing with his Nerf he lost most of the bullets on the roof!

Later we had dinner. The food was delicious! We chomped our way through red sausages, sausage rolls, pizza, vanilla ice cream, and jelly. We were so full we almost popped!

My Holiday
In the holidays I travelled to nanas place. After morning tea we zoomed off to the golf course. We played a fun game of golf. Nana won! Then, we sunbathed on the beach. Afterwards, Nana bought me a scratchy ticket! I did not win anything. “Boo!” Then, I bought an ice cream and a toy. Later on, Nana visited her friends place. Mum picked me up and on the way home I ate a packet of lollies.

Mum visited grandma then mad and mum went shopping. Mum bought me a present! It was a toy teddy! Later, Dad, mum, Joshua and I threw our lines in the sea. I caught the most fish! We had fun. Surprisingly, a stingray even broke my fishing line!

My holiday

During the holidays my family and I drove to my cousins house. While we were there, my cousin Izyah and I played on his PSP and PlayStation 2. Our favourite game, by far, was Jacked 2. Shooting people is the name of the game! To keep our gaming skills in top form we ate plenty of fruit, like grapes, apples and oranges!

Izyah’s Dad was not there because he was visiting Christchurch. But all of a sudden he arrived back home! He drove Izyah, my sister, my cousin Tiana and myself to my aunties house. Luckily he had a big vehicle! Later, my other cousins popped up out of nowhere and we teamed up and headed off to Tirau Primary School. Their names are Jimmy and William. Jimmy is the oldest because he is eleven. We played tiggy and hoops with the basketball. Holidays are fun!

In the holidays my nanny, Mariam, and I travelled Hamilton. First we watched a movie called Spy Kids. We ate a giant pot of popcorn. I had a slushy and Mariam had a Coca-Cola!

Next we sped off to the ice rink in Hamilton at Garden Place. We hired a balancing frame to stop us from falling over. Then, we raced onto the ice and zoomed all over the rink. Very soon we were splashing water all over the place! I felt wet, hot and soggy! It was a lot of fun! We both fell over! “Ow, ow, ow! I cried. We were soaked and covered in lots of bruises but it was awesome!

In the holidays I ventured off to Dad’s place. We were feeding the calves on the motorbike. But we drove too fast! As we raced down the hill the trailer that had the milk on it pulled a massive wheelie! We looked back at the trailer and it looked weird.

Another day we took my Dad’s Harley Davidson for a spin! It was awesome. We cruised along the straights by the mountains and saw Wairere Falls in the distance. My Dad and I were planning to do it again but I forgot my PlayStation Cords! So we had to take the car to pick them up!

Later, when my dad was milking I walked down to the farm to visit last year’s calves. I played with them and my Dad bought three big black bulls and they were fun to play with! Lucky they didn’t have horns! Then I ran over to the other calves (this years) and played with them. I made them a shelter so when it rains they won't get wet.

In my holidays I stayed at my auntie’s house for four nights. On the 2nd day we drove to the warehouse to buy myself some new shoes - I found some black jandals. Next we visited to my auntie’s friend’s house so that my aunty could have a coffee with her friend.

Later we drove in the car to mac’as for lunch; my aunty bought me a chicken chomp! Later at 2:15pm, my cousin, my uncle and I drove to waihi beach to have a look at the new beach house. But we didn't hop out of the van because it was raining. It was a really long drive back because of the traffic.

The day dragged on, and on the way back we grabbed some lollies and a drink. I chose some sour snakes and a can of lemonade. Before we arrived home we visited my uncle’s friend's house to pick up his work trailer. We were there for about 10 mins. In the van my 3-year-old cousin was standing on the drivers seat and leaning on the door, and the door was a little bit open. He almost fell out of the van and on to the concrete, but he didn't!

When the trailer was hooked up to the van we drove back to my auntie’s house to have dinner. We had hot chips, chicken nuggets and sausages. YUMMY! I ate all of my dinner so I could get a callippo ice-block. The ice-block was so cold it gave me a brain freeze. Then it was time for bed, so I walked down the hallway, jumped into my warm, cozy bed and fell asleep.

At the start of the holidays I walked to the A&P show in Matamata. When we arrived we saw a dog doing tricks and the dogs name was Flash. Once that finished we saw lots of balloons and they were free. We were allowed to have one.

Beside a tent was a sausage sizzle stand and that food was also free! Although my brother and sister went with Ngiare my Mum and I decided to visit the panting stand. Near the panting stand I saw Katie, Wesley, their dad and mum. They painted some beautiful artwork too! Katie painted a cute cat and her Mum painted a teddy bear. After the A&P show we zipped home and watched The Smurfs movie on our computer! What a fun day!

Last Wednesday Natasha came to my house for a sleepover. It was fun when she came over because we sleep in my big sister, Tamara’s room. After that it was teatime. Natasha, my little sister Brooke and I went in my sister’s room to do some singing with her. Natasha and I won at singing because we are the best at singing. After that Natasha, Brooke, Tamara and I went to get an ice block. It was so yummy. After that Natasha and I had to go to bed, but we just kept on listening to music. We were listening to Young, Wild and Free. I love singing so much. ☺
