I woke up at 8:00 today because my mum made me. I wanted to sleep in but. . . . you know. My mum said that we were going to pick up her friend from the airport. We drove all the way there and my mum walked / ran to the helpers. By then, Kevin ( my brother ) and I already found out that my mum was lying and that we were here to pick up my dad! Anyway, the helpers said that the plane was due to arrive any minute now. We waited for a few minutes and then we saw my dad! I was overjoyed. After dinner, my dad unpacked his things. After he gave out a few things, he gave me High School Musical 1, 2, and 3! After that he brought out a big box. I asked him what was in there, and he said their was two laptops. I asked him who they were for and he said that they were for me and my brother! My one was white with a pink top thing and my brothers one was white all over. Soon after that I had to go to bed. //Oh my gosh!!!! How fabulous!!! - Mrs N:)//

We went to three NZ shops to look for this thing witch my dad wanted. In the third one, when I was looked around by the casheir, when my dad was paying, I saw mood rings! I told my dad that I wanted one, but my dad was chatting with the owners of the shop so he didn't hear me. When we got outside, my dad asked me what I wanted and I told him then we went back inside to by it for me.

Today it was my birthday party. My birthday was on 29.6.09, we were waiting for my dad to come home. I went to Butterfly Creek. The crocodiles were enormouse! I invited Keelan, Piper, Olivia, Carman and Cassandra. When we went to the barn, we got to hold the animals. I held a guinea-pig. The guinea pig I held was a baby. It was so soft! It was white and had brown ears. We had lunch at Mc Donalds. On the way home, we played sweet and sour. This is how you play: You go in the car and while the driver is driving, you wave and smile at the person behind you. If they wave and smile back at you, it means their sweet. If they only wave back at you, it means their swour. If they only smile back at you, it means their swour too. If they dont do anything, it means their sour. If they dont even look at you, it means their blindbats. When we got to my house we had cake. It sounds like you had a fabulous time. Mrs N:)

Today I was really, really really bored because my mum had to go to work. I had pasta for brunch. When I was writing on my wiki, Keelan called me five or six times! I got really angry and annoyed. When my mum came back she yelled at me because I was 'misbehaving.' She said that if I wanted Keelan to come tomorow I had to do extra work on my wikipage. I called Keelan to tell her that she couldn't come tomorrow then my mum got even more angry at me so I called Keelan to tell her that she could come. I got annoyed and angry at my mum..

Today I went rock climbing with Keelan, Kevin, Momo, (Kevins friend) Lance, (Kevins friend) Amy (Lance's mum) and my mum. My mum took a day of from work to come. My mum forgot to bring the camera so we couldn't take any photos. The girls went in my mum's car and the boys went in Amy's car. On the way there Amy got lost so my mum had to tell her the directions again. My mum sped right past it! There was a glow-in-the-dark rock climbing thing, ones when someone has to hold the rope to keep you up, and there were the normal ones. Keelan and I went on the rope one three times. Kevin and Momo had a race on the rope ones. For the glowing ones, there were no safety ribbons but there was a really soft matt under it so in case you fall you wouldn't get hurt. It was fun. Keelan brought some snacks for me and her to eat. It was really fun. We got home around 4:00 and Keelan stayed untill 6:00.
