Easter Weekend at Algies 2008

I went on holiday on Easter weekend at Algies Bay. I met three friends, Sophie, Sophie, and Tiggy, we played on the tramp, tried to fish for sprats, we made a fising bowl, and we found drift wood that looked like reindeer antelers so we tried to make a reindeer in the sand.

Mr Algie took us on his speed boat, it was lots of fun. We saw a shipwreck, we crashed on big waves which wet us because we were sitting at the front of the boat, and Mr Algie dropped us off at Mansion House on Kawau Island and we had a ice block and walked across to Ladies Bay were he picked us up again. We looked at the copper mines and got off the boat and walked around a little island with pretty white shells. It was funny when I drove the speed boat, I went around in circles about three times, it was hard to steer.

We went to the Reptile Park and we looked at lizards, skinks, monkeys that raised their eye brows, American aligators, turtles, sand monitor, and tortises. At the beginning it started raining and half way around it poured.

Fernlea Cafe

After golf on Saturday we went to a cafe for ice cream and coffee. We played on the playground, in the sandpit and had ice cream which had coloured sugar on top. We had a game of petanque, I was good at it, I managed to beat everyone at least once. I played with D11 twice, Dad five times, A9 once, S4 once and Mum four times.

Golfing Range

On Saturday we went out golfing, I hit one over 50m. First of all I did useless ones, most times I missed it but once Daddy gave me a short lesson, mine went far away. Mummy kept hitting the barrier beside her with her balls and Daddy kept hitting them for miles. I loved golfing at the end when I could hit the ball.

Going Out Party

On Saturday we went to go to my big cuzzies party. We had lots of yummy food, I liked the chips and dip, and the sushi. When it was dark they put some disco lights on and had a smoke machine. L11, A9 and I, jumped over the smoke and it was so smokey that we can't see much. L11 and A9 they doing handstands and L11 fell over me when she was doing hand stands. We stayed up really late, and had lots of fun, we left at 11.30pm.

Beads, Beads, and More Beads

On Monday Mum went out to have her Monday afternoon off and while she was out she bought us a very special glass bead each. Mine is green and it is shaped like a spear, I put it on a necklace with two other green beads and purple ones too, I love it. A9 got a orange one, D11 got a green one, and S4 got a pink one. I have other glass beads as well in my bead box, and enjoy it when my friend E10 comes over and we bead together.

Finding Lizards (Skinks)

When we stayed at my Aunty and Uncles house we caught some lizards (skinks). We caught two, one we thought was a girl and one we thought was a boy. We put them in the big green bucket, we put leaves and clay and all sorts of bugs in with them. We also put honey water in to the bucket because that's what it said on a website that we looked at with my big cousin J and N.
