My Holidays

During the Easter holidays I spent a lot of time with other family in lots of different places. During the first week I went over to Tauranga with my cousin and went and stayed with family over there. We had the meanest time while we were over there. I can’t quite remember most of it though but some of the things I can remember are going out shopping, that was so funny shopping with my cousin and my mum. We would choose the ugliest and stupidest things and go and buy them and to be idiots we would wear them around town. Can tell we weren’t from Tauranga. While we were out and about, me and my cousin went out walking everywhere. Her and I would get so many toots and we turned so many heads (if you catch our drift). We even got squirted with the water guns from these random boys that drove past us. It so funny as, we got the meanest of frights. On our little journey we had to stop and ask for directions on how to get to the New World. Definitely out of towners! But we still had mean fun week living the life of a city slicker.
