A Weekend in Manurewa!

On Friday afternoon, my family and I went to my cousin's house in Manurewa for a weekend. First we had to pack the clothes that we were taking with us. My Siblings helped me to pack up while my mum baked a chocolate cake and two pies.

After my siblings and I finished packing, I went to my mum in the kitchen hoping to help her but she had already finished baking the cake.

 After we were ready to go, my grandpa took us in his car and drove us to Manurewa. It took us an hour to get there. After we arrived, we went inside the house and they had already finished their dinner.

Then my cousins, my siblings and I went outside and played on the roller skates and scooter. A roller skate is a moving shoes or boots with wheels attached to them. The scooter has two has two wheels and a flat board where you stand on with one foot while yourself push forward with the sets of other foot on the ground. They had two sets of roller skates and one scooter. I went on one of the roller skates, my cousin went on the other roller skates and my other cousin went on the scooter. My other cousin and my siblings went back inside. My cousin on the roller skate taught me how to ride on it and soon I was getting used to it. Then we raced up and down the driveway on the roller skates and scooter.

After we went back inside, we watched a movie. We watched Smurfs. The movie was about little blue smurfs. There was an evil wizard called Gargamel. The Smurfs tumble from their magical world into the human world. After the movie, we were all so sleepy and tired soon we fell sleepy.

The next day we had breakfast. We ate chocolate cake, pie and drank tea. After breakfast we rested for a while.

Then we went on the computer and played games on it. We played Fire boy and Water girl. We played for a while. It was so much fun. Then my aunt and my mum went to M'c Donald's and bought frozen coke. When they came back home, we grabbed a frozen coke each and sat down on the chair to enjoy the cool, refresh drink.

My favourite part was going on the roller skate because we raced up and down the driveway.

Friend's birthday!

On Saturday the 18th, it was my friend's birthday. We celebrate my friend's birthday at their home in Panmure.

First we had to get ready to go to the birthday party. Soon we were ready to go to the birthday party. My aunt, my mum, my siblings, my cousins and I all went in aunt's car. My other aunt and uncle went in a different car.

Soon we arrived there and it only took us six minutes to get there. We went out the car and went inside the house. The house was full of balloons on the ground. My cousins, my siblings, some other children and I ate some snacks.

We played a lot of activities, like playing with the ball and the balloons. There was also a pinata. It was so much fun because we did some other activities. Then we all went inside to blow out the cake.

After eating the cake, all the children went upstairs to a room and watch a movie. Before the movie, I went downstairs to go and get some packets of popcorn for all of us. We watched Kung Fu Panda 3. It was a funny movie about a panda named Po. Po has four best friends, and in the movie Po's dad came to find Po.

When we finished watching the movie, we all went down to get something to eat. We ate some roasted chicken with salad. After we ate, we went outside and played some games.We played hand games, tag, hide and seek and hunter.

Then it was time for us to go back home. My dad, my mum, my siblings, my cousins, my aunties, my uncle and I all went home together because it was getting late.
As soon as we arrived home, we all felt tired and sleepy. We all bath as quickly as we can and went to bed.

My favourite part was when I played with other children because it was so much fun.
