Dunedin

In the second week of the holidays my family and I went to Dunedin. It took us about a couple of hours to get to Dunedin.on the way there I felt car sick and about to vomit. As we got in to Dunedin my aunty said can we stop to get the kids something to eat yes said my mum. After that we quickly rushed into the hospital and signed my aunty in because we were running late. Me my grandad and two brother waited for almost an hour. When the appointment was done we went to McDonalds for something to eat. Then we went home on the way home

Orawia

My sister and I were so excited to go to Orawia to visit our cousins on the first week of the holidays. We went there on Sunday and stayed there  until Wednesday because our cousins were going to Dunedin. 

Then on the second week of the holidays we went to Orawia again on Saturday for our cousin (Riley's) birthday party. It was a disco. We had food and drinks and a discoball. We also had to dress up. UGLY. I wore a ugly dress I had, purple tights with spiders on them, a fuzzy wig and ugly river boots. Heaps of people came up to me saying,"Here's your present Riley." Because my wig looked like her hair all fuzzed up. Then after the disco we went for a tiki tour to Stumps. Casie fell asleep in the van and on the floor at Stumps. Mum had too much to drink and pulled down my cousin (Sophie's) pants and she was so embarrassed. So we went out to the van and we were in the van for 3 and a 1/2 hours. just Sophie and I Mum cuddled Stump way before we left his house.

We left Stumps about 12:30am. We got home to Livia's house around about 1am. Casie slept in her clown suit. Sophie and I slept on the couches because we wanted to and we didn't get to sleep until about 1:30am. Mathew said he got to sleep at about 2:30am.

Corey Ross's holidays

In the holidays I stayed  at my  grandads for three days (even though it felt like three.....hundred).It was rather cold but after awhile I got used to it.When I was on my way there I got very,very,VERY bored because I had to stay in the car for at least half  an hour with a chihuahua named Golum that had bad breath.

On the second day me and Ozzy (not Golum the chihuahua) went for a walk down the road.Ozzy is my favourite dog because every morning I sit down on the couch Ozzy comes up to me and rubs agaist my leg so I give him a pat.

When I was leaving Ozzy wanted to come with me but I didn't let him.

The holidays by Reagan W

My brother and I went on the smallest plane to Christchurch. It took us 1 whole hour and 20 minutes. We clambered of the stairs of the smallest airplane I saw my Mum and my Nana. I rushed over to see them because I haven't seen them in a long time. We grabbed our bags and put them in the back of the van

Dunedin

In the first week of the holidays my family and I went to Dunedin. I felt sick from the car ride up. Mum had to stop a few times. After the two hour ride we finally got to Dunedin. It was about, say 9:00 am when we got there, we were staying at a motel. Mum got the key CLICK. We looked in and THERE WAS A WHOLE BUNCH OF STAIRS!!! I got up stairs and went to bed. In the morning we got woken up at 7:30am, we had breakfast, got ready and we were off. We went straight to the family fun shop. We looked at most of the things we eventually picked the Earnslaw. We were so early we waited and waited and WAITED. It finally came there was a big line as we walk on we get our picture taken. The first thing we did was go down STAIRS and look at how the engine works. I also learn't something that I didn't know they use coll. We went up stairs and spent the rest of our time up there it was very windy.   The boat stopped we got off for the farm tour they had Lama's, Sheep and Cattle. After that we had something to eat pancakes with jelly and cream on top yummy.

My holiday hunting trip

It was the end of the first week of the holidays, and Dad, Jayden, Dads mate Jay and I were preparing the dogs, and ourselves for a hunt. Jayden and I collared up the dogs , and put them in the dog boxes, I grabbed the hunting permits and off we went in the truck, Jayden and Jay lead the way on the motorbikes. "Have we got the knives?" Dad asked.

"I think so," I replied. So we pulled over to check.Yep. We arrived at the gate of the Motu hunting block. The gate was locked(no surprise) so Jayden and I slid his little two wheeler under it and Jay drove around it. Well, he tried but the entry was a bit steep. So Dad jumped on the front to weigh down the bike and that worked. As we drove, the dogs ran in front of the bike trying to sniff out a pig. Then we turned the bike off. I took Dads lazy, old main dog, chief, down to the pond for a drink cause he was exhausted. Jayden's dog,  Jaws and Dad's dog, Thunder were off. We heard the squeal of a pig, well more of a grunt."Sounds like a monster!" Jay said.Dad said that Jay seems a bit retarded, but don't get me wrong that pig sounded BIG. We took off, Dad and Jay in front. I felt a rush of adrenalin down my spine. Yes, Pig On!

Kid zone

I was so excited because today I'm going to Kid zone with Willis. At 9:00 he will be coming to pick me up. The door bell rung and I zoomed like a racing car to get it. I opened the door and hopped into the car. Then we drove off like we weren't even there. It took us about 30 minutes to Invercargill. When we got to Kid zone, Willis and I went on the zorbs. Once we got in them we were trying to crash into each other. I did it a couple of times. But then I just fell back like I was a flat pancake, then relaxed because we were so num. Then it was time up. So the man grabbed me and dragged me onto a soft sponge. Straight after we went on the green machines. I started doing mean as drifties. Just before lunch we went to a room called Sew There. It was a place where you could make a mask or an animal sack. The people gave us the material and sheets of paper to make a pig sack.

Luke's holidays

The  first week of the holidays Mum,Abbey and I went up to  Dunedin to see my cousins. We stayed the night at my  Aunties. The next day later we went to Dispicable Me 2. After a good time at the movies we went to Smiggle. At Smiggle I got 3 rubbers a pencil case and a pencil sharpener.

Holidays

About four days into the school holidays, I was relaxing on the couch with a good book, when mum came into the room. She told me that the time had come. "No, it hasn't ," I whimpered. I had been dreading that day for weeks, trying to find a way around it, but I couldn't. I had to face the fact that my extremely annoying cousins, all three of them,we're coming to ruin my holidays. I didn't know how I would cope.The terrible trio was made up of a five year old, a two-and-a-half-year-old, and a five month old baby, complete with siren mouth and toxic nappies.

Holidays

On the first Wednesday of the holidays my friend Lachlan had a sleepover at my house. We played on the computer. The next day we went to Kid zone. It was a long hour drive in the car but I knew it was worth it once. We got to Kid zone we went straight to the zorbs we were in the line for hour and a half when it was my go I got in and waited for it to be blown up then it was pushed on to the water. It was impossible to stand up or run once we were finished we went to the movies to watch monsters university. When it ended we meet up with my sister and her friend who watched despicable me 2. They went to a candy store and got Harry potter jelly beans there were so many different flavours. Sadly my sister the mean person she is gave me... A vomit flavoured one is was amazing how they made the flavour but the flavour sucked. We had KFC for tea and then took Lachlan home.
