The school holidays

On Friday Uncle Robert, Claire, Daddy, Grandpa Mark, Mummy, Tom and I went to the Hunter Valley.  We stayed in a cottage called Kookaburra.  Tom and i bought our scooters so we could scoot around the deck but the deck was only a bit little so we couldn't really scooter that much.  Claire and i played a bit of netball without a hoop but that didn't matter because Claire pretended that her hands were a hoop.  Then on Sunday we went to lots of wine tasting places and one wine tasting place had a chocolate shop and there was a big silver bowl with melted chocolate in it and you could get strawberries dipped in the melted chocolate and also marshmellows dipped in the melted chocolate. Tom got strawberries dipped in chocolate and I got marshmellows dipped in chocolate.  Then we went to a  place with dirty puddles and it was close to the place with chocolate and uncle robert and clare walked there and the rest of us drove there.   Only Claire and Uncle Robert went in and the others stayed outside.  Then we went back and clare and i played running races and when it was a minute over we had to yell stop and we had to go to the same place or if you wanted you could go to a different place and claire won most of them because she wasn't running around as much as Tom and I.  We had to leave on Sunday.

(1 week later).
On Monday we dropped Grandpa Mark at the airport so that he could go back to London and both Mummy and Grandpa Mark were crying and I was pretty sad too.  When we were driving back we played this game where we had to think of an animal beginning with K and then P and then M and then G.  The first one was Tom's go and he thought of Kangaroo, Possum, Monkey and then a goat.  When it was my go I thought of a Koala, Penguin, Mouse, Giraffe.  And then before we went back home we stopped at McDonald's to get some lunch.  Then we went to Stockland to buy some things and then we went home.

On Tuesday we went to Little Manly with Zoe, Aunty Bels and that lot and before everybody got there Tom and I went for a swim and we played on the rocks.  Then Zoe arrived and Aunty Bels and then we played a game of Tip and Sam, Bronte, Barney and I played on the swings and we had some lunch.  We played a little game of Tip because not that many people played and then we went home.

On Wednesday we had Jasmyn and Olivia came over to our house and we made chocolate easter eggs and we went to the park and we made 2 big ones and quite a few little ones and some were hollow and some were fully chocolate.  Then we played Old Maid to see who won and whoever won got to choose their easter egg first and whoever came second got to choose their Easter egg second and the person who came last had to choose their easter egg last and I came first, Tom came second and Olivia came last.  After that we got out some writing icing stuff and we got to choose an easter egg to decorate with the icing writing thing.  Then we watched Narnia, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.  Before it finished Olivia had to go home and we got to watch the rest of it.  When it finished we went to soccer training for Tom and Jasmyn was the coach.  Whilst soccer was on I went to Eleanor's house and we played a game of mums and dads until Jasmyn came to pick me up and we went home.  We played a game of Go Fish and a game of Old Maid until mummy came home.  We showed mummy our easter eggs that we decorated and we got to eat them after dinner.

On Thursday we went to Arabanoo and we went to Max Brenner the chocolate shop first and we went to the movies to see Rio.  On Friday we were at home with mum then we went to Oscar and Angie's house and Oscar's granny was there.  And first we arrived and we started playing with Oscar's bey blades and then Charlie and Noah came with Oscar and Oscar and Noah were playing with the bey blades in the bucket and then they stopped playing that because we were playing a bit and then we had some food - rolls with tomato and cheese in it and we also had some carrot.  We played some more and we played Ninja's, then there was these little cakes and we got one each and we had a really easy easter egg hunt because Leanne told us where they were and we rushed to where they were and we found them.
