This is a story of my holidays, when we were on the break from school. A time to be with your friends and family. Hope you enjoy it.


We were driving and driving but then I saw the snow on the hills. When we got there we went tobogganing. Plus we make this awesome snow man. I climbed up hills and broke the ice on the rocks and pushed the snow off the hill.


When we were at the snow, we stayed at the Chateau. It was so big and there was a tv in my room. We had big dinners and breakfasts. My dad had 7 and 6 bits of bacon and I went crazy went dessert.


After we left the Chateau we went to the caves. We went to 3 caves. My favourite was the glow worm cave. It was over 2 days. The place we stayed at had its kitchen outside. Jack and I had to climb a ladder to get to bed. In the morning we jumped onto my mum and dads bed.   


I went to Wellington to see my cousins new house. My cousin names are Nina and Joseph. They came to How To Train Your Dragon 2 with us. That night we all helped to make diner. It was dumpling night. Nina and  I made beef mince. And the boys made prawns.  


I liked the Chateau best because of the dessert.

A moment in time...

At Night


I heard the cool breeze.
I heard the loud sound of my dad snoring.


I saw my big mirror.
I saw the dark roof .


I felt a the breeze hitting my face.
I felt my diary under my pillow.


I wondered if birds would fly into my room.
I wondered if I would wake up in the middle of  the night.
