Labour Weekend

On Labour weekend we were allowed to stay at home on Monday as well. In  Labour Weekend I got to go see my Aunty and Uncle with their two sons Nesi and Liam.We went to their house and played on the trampoline for a little while and then we watched
some TV. A few hours later we left and we actually told them to come to our house to have a BBQ. We were having lots of fun playing tag and hide and seek.

When we finished playing it was time to eat our dinner so we went to the shop to buy some yummy drinks to have with our dinner. We ate our delicious dinner and then me and my sisters did our chores so we could watch a cool movie. We watched shark tale and we ended up laughing through nearly half of it because it was a pretty funny movie.We wanted to watch another movie so my mum put in another DVD called Tangled. It was really entertaining with all of the songs and funny bits. A few minutes later my cousins fell asleep so we fell asleep too so that was pretty much saturday.


The next day my cousins went back to their house and it was cleanup day! We cleaned every room in the house and every single wall in the house. When we finished we felt so hungry and so thirsty and so hot so my dad organised a trip to the sunny beach!
We packed our stuff and our food and drinks then left to bucklands
bay. We played on the playground and had fun and then we had sandwiches and fizzy drinks for lunch. We then hopped in our togs
and ran into the nice cold water. It felt amazing! We were in the
water for over an hour and then we went back to the car for a snack because we ran out of energy. We ate some almonds and some Juice and then we were set to even more fun! We stayed in the water until sunset and then we went back home to have a shower and
relax. We watched an episode of KUWTK (known as Keeping up with the Kardashians), and then we ate some Ice cream and fruit salad.
And that was the end of Sunday.




The next day was the best day because we went to the pools for the whole day and we went out for lunch at a fancy restaurant. We got to go on the big slide and then we jumped off the side of the pool into the really deep water. We grabbed our inflatable pizzas from the car and then we filled them up with up with air so we could relax on the nice water. I almost fell asleep because it was so comfortable! After the pools we went to a fancy restaurant and we
ate some delicious food! After that we went back home feeling very very tired!
