Task:To write a recount - A Time with Whanau

“Ring, Ring”  It was my aunty again, phoning mum to check the plan for the weekend.  “Were going to Auckland on Saturday and were going to rainbows end on Sunday” mum explained When I went to bed I dreamed about and humongous sky high Fear Fall ride at Rainbows end.  I couldn’t wait!

It was Saturday morning and I was so excited about our trip but really sad we were leaving our puppy Ace behind. Dad assured me he would be okay at Daisy Downs while we were away.  Daisy Downs was a sort of hotel for dogs.

After dropping off Ace we started driving to Auckland. My tummy started to rumble.  Ïm starving” I complained.  “Me too” said mum.  “We will have to stop in Whangarei for something to eat”.   When we stopped to eat in a shop I walked in and I saw Taylor.  I wanted to say hello but mum was rushing me to choose my food. I waved to Taylor as she left.

Once we ate our food we headed back to the car.  “Ohno” dad shouted “I forgot my wallet”.  Mum did not look pleased.  We then drove all the way home on the twisty, windy roads, picked up dad's wallet and set off again for the long ride to Auckland.

Feeling sick, tired and slightly excited I got out of the car at Nanas house in Auckland.  We were staying with Nana the night which is always great because because Nana is always fun.  She let us stay up late and watch the movie Pixels

After the movie we all when to bed.  In the morning my mum and dad came and they had some bad news.  My mum said that my cousins Lilly and Noah can't come to rainbows end with us but my other cousins Skylah and Ella can.

We all hopped into the car Nana came in our car to.  Once we got to rainbows end my mum got a message from Skylah and Ella's mum my aunty Shell saying that they were in kids kingdom.

When we came into kids kingdom I saw my cousins Skylah and Ella on a pedaling airplane ride.  When they got off we went on a ride called the choco express.  There was a lime seat and a chocolate seat and a banana and a caramel and vanilla seat.  When we hopped on the train we when on the chocolate seat.  It when around and around like a roller coaster it even felt like you were going to fall of.  But it was not that scary.

After that we went on a humongous playground. played in kids kingdom my dad talked me into going the roller coaster.  When it was my turn I was crying.  I was so freaked when we were upside down that I was screaming hard out my bones were shaking and I felt like I had butterflies in my tummy.

After the roller coaster I went on the log flume.  The log flume had pirates and skeletons and waterfalls the pirates were saying beware beware!!!!!!.  When we when down the log flume water side I shouted “ weeeeeeeeeeee” well my Nana shouted “Aaaaaaaaaaa” but my mum had her mouth shut and tried not to embarrass herself.

Soon it was time to open me a Ellas presents from our birthdays.  When I opened my present from Ella I saw a big box with some dough shaped in hearts flowers butterflies and stars.  After I gave Ella my gift to her she smiled and gave me a nice big hug.

Aunty shell said she had to leave so my mum dad nana brother and I headed back to rainbows end well my cousins left.  When we came back to rainbows end we went on the bumper boats then the gold rush. Then we all headed off to the arcade and played lot and lots of video games.

Then we dropped my nana off to her house and we all headed home.
