My Holidays.

On my holidays I went to Daines house.
I went with Dad Ashley, Christabel, Christine and I.
I played with my family outside, we played with a ball. The dogs got the ball so Ashley got the ball off the dogs. On Monday we had to go home because dad had work.

My Holiday!

In the Holidays I went to Auckland. When we got there we had lunch at Mac Donald's, it was yummy. Then we went to the mall to do some shopping and I brought some new earings and clothes. We went to our Motel and it was beautiful and it smelled like a rose. Then on the next day we went to the pools and we had lots of fun and laughter. We had to come back down to Invercargill and I felt sad because we had lots of joyful moments!

After my Aunty did that she went and got somethings for the girls that are going over such as my Mum,amanda,lieza,Karren and Jomoe then Fairlayne and Hendrix went home to get there clothes for to night. AT lunch time they came over again.
