These coming holidays

June 17th, 2008

The first week of the holidays I am going to Aotea. This is between Raglan and Kawhia. I am going there because we know someone who owns a Bach there. My auntie Sarah with my cousin is coming as well as my best friend Jennifer and my mum’s friend Diane and my brother’s friend Rob. We are going to take the fishing rods so we can go fishing (stinky). My mum is also taking our two bikes so we can bike around and down to the sea as well as the diary. For the second week of the holidays I am going up to my untie Sarah’s house it is going to be so cool! She lives on a farm up in the king country. Every time we go there we always go to The Lavender Farm for hot chocolates.   

Anzac Day At Otorohanga and Kawhia

May 2nd, 2008

On the 25th of April I went with my grandad and the Te Awamutu Highland pipe band to Otorohanga for the Anzac Day parade at 1o am. It was a very long parade and heaps of people talked as well as a high-school student. At the end of the ceremony a lot of people put really cool wreaths on the monument. On the way up and down they played The Brown Haired Maiden, The Green Hills of Tyrol, When the battle is Over, Scotland the Brave and lots lots more. About 12pm we left for Kawhia and it was kind of the same except it wasn’t as long as Otorohangas one. At the start when they were getting warmed up there was a group of kids listening and going up and then running away because it was to loud for them. My grandad and Kathy said even if I am not playing next year I can still walk with because I will have my uniform. After we got back to Te Awamutu we went to the R.S.A to play a few tunes and have tea. After the band played I met grandads sister she is really cool. It was such a fun day I cant wait till next year when I’m playing with them.

Kainga Aroha Community house

May 2nd, 2008

On Thursday 24th April I got to go with Kainga Aroha Community house to Rotorua Aquatic Centre. When I got to the Kainga Aroha Community house I made a new friend named Emma. On the way we stopped of at a place where there was a calf, some chickens, a goat and a ostrich. At the pools there was a pool that was like a river. All you had to do was relax and you got taken around. Also there was a rocket and you had to run across it and try to get to the other side and there was a tramp were you could bounce off it and land in the pool. Outside the pools but still in the area there was some buckets and a rainbow and some other things that had water coming out of them. The buckets got filled up with cold water and then they tipped and all the cold water came out it was freezing. It was a very tiring day though!!!!!
