In the holidays

In the holidays all I did was stay at home play songs on you tube and go

on Facebook. It was the worst holiday ever. I only got out of the house

a few times through the inter holidays.

On the first day of the holidays me and Khi Khi ran to Panmure to get Kyal  to go to the pools it was dumb so we decided not to go because, the slide was close.

Day two stayed at home on you tube and face book

day three, four, five, six, seven and eight at home one face book

and you tube. Final comes days nine Logan tells me on face book I will come pick you

up tomorrow to go Sylvia Park, and I said “ok”.We went to pick up Luke then Sione

we were meant to pick up Khi Khi but then we forgot about it.

We trained to Sylvia Park when we got three Login and Luke ditched as

and went to Logan's house in otahuhu. I was left with Soine so we jumped the train back home to Glen innes.
