My Holiday Writing

A Day Of My Life!

O.M.G. Today is going to be soooooooo boring. Here is a list of events that I know we’re doing. 1st on the list is my cousin is coming over, 2nd on the list is my sister is getting a new pair of glasses, 3rd on the list is that we go home. I am super excited to get it all over and done with. Ok, that might have been a little bit of exaggeration, so let’s just get back to the story. As I was saying that today is going to be soooooo boring, my cousin shows up with a pair of shorts in his hand, but I didn’t think anything of it. I thought he had them just incase the rain stopped even though it wasn't going to, but I didn’t think of that at the time. But then he went and got changed into them. That made me more curious on why he had them, then we went out to the car.

As we were driving past the school on waterloo road I thought we were going to get my sisters glasses but then my mum turned left onto carmen road, and then into Mega Air. my brother and I went crazy because we never knew, but everyone else knew. Then they explained why they didn’t tell us. We understood after a while. As we walked into Mega Air and I saw the lady that liked my cat onesie, that I was wearing the last time we came here. We got guided through to the safety check room, where we watched a safety video, like normal, and then we got into it.

My sister, my cousin, my brother and I all stuck together for just about the whole time. But the first thing we all went and did was the massive airbag, that used to be a foam pit full of foam cubes. It was changed because a child broke a bone in it. We went to the boxes were my mum took photos of us bouncing down them in height order. The last thing we did was the half pipe (which is a little trampoline strip down the middle with 2 trampolines on each side on a 70 degree angle.) We would take turns at bouncing down the walls of the pipe and then all the way back but then it was time to go after an hour of bouncing and having lots of fun.

Now we were off to get my sisters glasses at specsavers so her sight wouldn’t be fuzzy. Her eyes were shortsighted, but then they over corrected and are now long sighted which is a bummer. So my cousin, two little brothers and I had to wait in the car for them to get back which took like 10 minutes.

But then I got a big surprise when my mum took me shoe shopping, YAY! It only took like 15 minutes to do, only because the shoes I wanted in my size were stocked up the top, so my mum made me run to the other side of the store to ask someone to get a ladder so we can get them. Sadly it wasn’t the 1st time I had to do that either. The shoes I got were, H&H hightops. Which I love. On the way back to the car I was dying to put them on but I had to wait until we got to the car. But I put them on at home because I couldn’t be bothered trying to put them on in the car.

At home my cousin and I played Skate 3 and other games until he had to go home.

That was a good day after all.

The End!

Trip to Cromwell

Trip to Cromwell

On the 2nd week of the school holidays my family and I went to Cromwell.  One of the reasons for  going down there is because of our Grandma, she had a birthday. We also went down to see other members of our family. This family was new to me because they are my step-Dad’s family.

Ok here comes the boring part. The 1st thing we had to do is the 7 hour drive to Cromwell. We got on the road at 8:00 am. We didn’t do much in the car, all we did was talk about what we would do 1st when we got to Cromwell. We also ate and had some 350 mill fizzy drinks. We did  that until we got to Geraldine. We had a little break and then we drove non stop to Cromwell with a few photo opportunities on the way.  At about ½ the way there I started feeling sick.  We got to some swervy roads and it didn’t help that we were stuck behind a tourist all the way and then on the hill I threw up and all I could taste was vomit, at that point we had 30 minutes until we got there. When we were going around the lake (Lake Dunstan) we could see Cromwell, we all got excited. We arrived and got all of our bags out of the car and took them inside of the house we were staying in, we had 2 hours until we had to go again.

We had a good 2 hours and then we had to go to someone else's house for dinner. We had a barbeque, meat and salad with doritos. We went home and went to bed.

It was day 2 in Cromwell. We had a beautiful view of the mountains with snow on them and we had a beautiful garden outside too. It was 8:00 am and we were having breakfast because we were going to see our Grandma. It was a 5 minute drive to get to where she was staying. It was a pretty interesting drive because of the view and a lot of awesome stuff on the side of the road. My Grandma lived in a retirement home. We went inside and walked all the way to the other side of the retirement home and there she was sitting in front of the doorway. She was looking better than ever she was less forgetful as last time. But the main reason we were there because our Grandma was having a birthday. We brought her a present with battery powered candles and some body wash.  It was great that we could see her but we had to go otherwise we couldn't get to the next activity.

Our next activity was go karting. Everyone was excited, this is what we wanted to do when we heard that we were coming down to Cromwell. We booked a time and it was in 2 minutes until we had to get our gear on and be on the track, so we had to sprint down the hill. Everybody made it down the hill in time and we went through the safety check and then we were on the track. We had 10 minutes out on the track. Everyone was on a single go kart but my Stepdad was on a go kart with my little brother Bryce. I got 9 laps completed and my sister Hannah-mae got 7. My best lap time was 56.20 seconds and my sister got 59.0. Seconds. We finished up on our last lap and we found out our final result. 2 people we didn’t know got 1st and 2nd and I got 3ed. We had a lot of fun and we are looking ford to next time we go down.

Now we went to explore the Highlands Motor Sport park and decided what we can do next. We decided the next thing what we would do, we were going to go on a safari ride around the edge of the Motor sports professional track. The ride was teaching us about dinosaurs and there was a playground and frisbee golf at the end of the ride. It was a wonderful experience and we had a lot of fun.

We went home and we relaxed for the rest of the day and we had an early night but we can't wait for the next experience tomorrow.

The next morning we explored the shops in the middle of town. It was pretty boring but we had fun watching the little creek that went through the middle of the path. It was around midday at this point so we went to the bakery and got some lunch. It was pretty good, I had a pie and a piece of lollie cake. We went to Mini Golf after that and we went around the course, on one of the holes I got a hole in one and one of the corsairs had water in it. We all had a good time on the last day and we hope we can come back down soon.

It was a fun time going down there but we had fun. We all loved it but we had to go. Our last stop on the way home was lake tekapo. It was a beautiful scenery and it was a good choice for pictures.
