MY HOLIDAY
December
On The Way Up. 23.12.17
As Dad, Mum, Casey and I hopped on the plane at Christchurch Airport headed for Rotorua I knew this was going to be a long day.When we finally landed we walked inside and saw grandma standing there waiting. We grabbed our bags and headed to Whakatane. When the car pulled up at grandma’s house I walked inside to see my cousins (Chloe aged 9 and Josh aged 7). Then we had dinner and went to bed.
Christmas Eve!!!24.12.17
We were super excited for tomorrow. Today we stayed around the house and went to the park down the hill. We all just relaxed.
Christmas Day!!!!!! 25.12.17
On Christmas morning Casey, Chloe and I all woke up at 6:15 we got up and sat on the couch. ( The rules are that EVERYONE has to be up before you can open presents). At 6:30 everyone was up except Josh!! He was having a sleep in day on the wrong day! At 7 0’clock we woke him up and then we started. Here's a picture of us on Christmas day.
Boxing Day 26.12.17
Today Chloe, Casey, Josh and I went with our cousins (Emily age 11 and Will age 7) to Rotorua. First we went to Bunny Mini Golf ( it's like normal mini golf but with bunny rabbits everywhere!!) Out of Emily, Chloe, Casey and I, Chloe and I tied with 57 points each, Emily with 58 and Casey with 60. Then went swimming in Blue lake. It was really warm!! Blue lake is a collapsed volcanic crater. You can also walk around blue lake.
The Next Day 27.12.17
Today Chloe, Casey, Josh and I went to Otarawairere ( over the hill from Ohope) to go swimming and boogie boarding. Otarawairere is a Casey and I used our new wetsuits. It was a really hot day so the water was nice and cool. There were lots of good waves and they were perfect for boogie boarding.
The Day After 28.12.17
Today Chloe, Casey, Josh and I went to Rotoma ( a lake between Rotorua and Whakatane). Emily and Will have been camping there. It was a little bit rough but I still went for 2 rides on the biscuit. There was a platform just off the shore that we spent hours jumping off. Once everyone was out of the water we had a game of volleyball. 
The Day After That 29.12.17
Today Dad, Mum, Casey and I walked to the Tarawera falls and back. The Tarawera falls is 35 metres high. We followed the river along the track then it disappeared and came out at a waterfall On the way it took us 1 hour and 17 minutes (downhill) and on the way back it took 56 minutes (uphill). Mum and Dad said if on the way back we were under an hour we got and real fruit ice cream from Blueberry Corner and we did!!!!
The Day Before New Years Eve! 30.12.17
Today Casey, Mum and I went out to Rotoma again ( to see Emily and Will). The water was colder than the other time . We swam for about an hour then got out and played Bananagrams. Then we all cooked sausages and went exploring in the bush. Then Mum, Casey and I went home to Grandma's house and had something to eat.Then Casey and I built her lego Ski field.
New Years Eve! 31.12.17
Today Dad, Mum, Casey and I took Lisa and Craig Mooney out to Ohope and walked along the beach and played at the park.It was Lisa’s first time going to Ohope. Ohope beach is 11 kilometers long and was voted New Zealand's most loved beach in 2016. Then Casey and I ran through the water jumping the waves as we went. After we had finished at Ohope we went to Blueberry Corner to get an ice cream. The Ice creams were delicious! Then we went to the fishing club for dinner.
GoodBye 2017. . .
