16/11/2015 road trip

Day 1

9.30 we hit the road, first we visited a farm in Marton and then we drive to Taihape to have a look around. We go in to the sushi shop for lunch and then we go to a Christmas shop and have a look around and the we go back to the car. We listened to some songs and play name the song.  I got the most right it was fun.  And then we are in the desert road but as Charlotte and I say the endless desert road.  We drive and drive some more and then finally we are there at Taupo!  First we go to rebel sport to get a jersey for me and then we go to get a dress for the school dance.  Last we go to the dairy then we go to the house and get tea ready soup and buns we eat, then we watch MKR NZ.  I like seeing the Apiti girls on TV.Day 2Mum and I get up, still a little sleepy and have breakfast. Then we tidy up and put the things in the car and we jump in ready for a long drive. We start another long drive to my grand parents home called Greenwood park we drive and drive some more and then we are in Rotorua we stop for lunch. I order a burger we eat and then we go back to the road for a hour drive to get there.  On our way I am the voice for the satnav on we go though the windy bit I start to feel sick. At long last we are there, we go up to the door and ring the door bell, we go in and say hi. We get some food while my gran gets my cousin from kindy and we play around for a bit then we go for a walk and gran  shows us the pool and the other things there.  My favorite bit is the pool and the bunny. Now we go for a walk called the Quail trail.  We do that and then go back and play around some more and then it is time for my cousin to go home so my grandpa takes her home and I play some games on the i-pad.  Now it is time for tea we had Middle eastern lamb wraps with feta and herds yum yum. We let tea go down then we go for a night swim its like its our private pool because no one was there except us. I do a few lengths and then hop in the spa it was really nice then it is time to go home and go to bed.Day 3 I wake up about 9.10 and read for a hour and then go have breakfast at about 10.15. I get ready for a walk and then we go we see lots of birds I was amazed how many there were and the beauty and there songs. We continue and then I stop to look at the view then when gran and mum caught up we go we come out in the open and walk around the village and then up to the house. In a few minutes my cousins and aunt get here. Ruben turned nine and Elena is 4, Lucy is 5 months.  Will is at school he is 7. We play tag then it is picture time I get one with Reuben and Lucy.  Lucy is so cute.After they leave Gran, Granddad and Mum and I get in the car and we drive to Mount Maunganui.  We set off to walk around the Mount.   Granddad and I go around on the rocks, and then we climb up a steep bushy bank.  Och I got pricked by a prickle.  We finish the walk with a nice refreshing ice-cream.  
Day 4I wake up ready for a new adventure.  We are off for a walk around the estuary with Aunty Liz and baby Lucy in her buggy.  I push Lucy on the walk, we hear lots of different birds and we stop at the lookout.  Then we walk back to the car   After our walk we go to a nice french cafe and I have a croissant.  I have some cuddles with baby Lucy.  Granddad and I go to the putting green and I get two holes in one and I win by one point then we go back to the house and I get changed in to my togs and go down to the pools to do 20 lengths. When we get back mum and I get ready to go up to my aunts houses and see the cousins.  Aunty Liz has made a delicious tea of chicken kebabs, pasta, salad and tomatoes.  After tea we go outside and play rugby and wrestling on the trampoline.  Reuben and Will didn't know that a girl could fight.  After that we did sparklers we each got two sparklers.  Uncle Alan lighted them for us and we ran like crazy.  Then sadly it is time to go. I have enjoyed my time here and I will miss my family.
