Our Holiday Snapshots...

In the holidays my Grandparents took my brother and I on a house bus. We were staying for a night. Grandpa had a sore arm and it hurt a lot. They took us to Amberley pools. I went on the big slide.

My mum, cousin and I went to the New Brighton fish 'n chip shop. As we got closer to the shop I could smell the delicious smell and I told Mum to hurry up.

In the holidays I went to the New Brighton beach with my Mum, Dad and my dog Sage. I made a sandcastle and saw a crab. When I went to swim I got heaps of salt water in my mouth. It was yucky! I had a water fight with my dog. After that we came up to the sand for a picnic. I had a lollipop and a piece of chocolate cake. After that we went back home and had a goody goody gumdrop ice-cream.

In the holidays I went surfing. The waves were over my head. The waves sounded like a big bucket of water tipping in the ocean. I hated the sea water, it was very salty. Then I was hold. I had a big snooze.

For Xmas we got a puppy. When Peanut went to the backyard for the first time he had fun. He is 6 months old. His favourite food is pig ears. We built home a kennel and he likes it. Peanut looks after us. Now he has a ball and food comes out of it.

On my birthday I had a cake. It was a doughnut cake and it was yummy. It had icing on it and sprinkles. I got ten presents. My favourite present was the potato gun.

In the holidays I went to Kaikoura then I got a drink of coke and fish 'n chips. We went to the Kaikoura beach. The fish 'n chips was yummy. On the way our car tyre ran out of air, so Dad had to out a space saver on. My Dad found a nail in the tyre.

On Christmas Eve Santa gave Ollie, Millah, Mum, Dad and I presents. My dog Bella got a present too. The tree glowed up and the lollies tasted so sugary. The tree smelt like new presents and chocolate.

I went to my friend's house. I bought my caterpillar. I went to a party and we had fizzy that was raspberry. We had chocolate...it was yummy and surgary.

In the weekend I went to Hamner Springs. It was fun. We went to the shop and I had lollies. They tasted like sour fruit. Then we went to the cabin.

In the holidays I went to Sumner with my whole family. My half brother and I went boogie boarding. A whole heap of water went into my mouth. I caught a huge wave. After that we had fish 'n chips and pizza. It was delicious. We had a shower at the beach and got the sand out of our togs.

In the holidays I went to the New Brighton beach and I picked the sand up. I went swimming in the beach and I played on the playground. I brought a cream freeze with a flake. I brought fish 'n chips for lunch.

In the holidays I went to New Brighton beach. My sister and I built a sandcastle and it was big. The sand felt like silk and smelled like the sea.

In the weekend I went to New Brighton beach. I made a sandcastle. Then I played in the water.

In the weekend I went to New Brighton beach. I went in the water and my Mum gave me a necklace. She found it in the waves and it had a pearl on it. We got some string and connected the necklace together. We then went home.

I went to Kaikoura. I picked up fifty crabs. I got a pot and a lid. I put the crabs in it. There was a really big crab. It could probably nip your fingers, but I still picked it up!

In the holidays I went to the beach. I swam in the water and I got salt water in my mouth. It tasted like salty water and made my tummy gurgle. It sounded like waves crashing into the pier. Then we walked home.

In the holidays I went to Taylor's Mistake beach. I dipped my feet in the water and it was so warm.
