Mount Maunganui, NZ: Family coming!

When our first grandparents came, we surprised them at the airport. They were so shocked. I was probably the happiest person in my family to see them. We drove them to our nice Airbnb, which had a view of the Mountain, the harbour, and the beach. When we got there, they gave us the presents they brought to us from other people. One of my favourite gifts was from the Di Stasi’s which was ten packs of hockey cards. After...

Whangārei Heads, NZ: Swimming Everyday

When we got to Whangārei Heads, we were greeted by the host who lives on top of our Airbnb. My sister and I have bunk beds, and my parents have king-size beds. We stayed there for a week, so it was a nice place to stay, and I was right on the water where the beach was. My dad and I are trying to go to the ocean every day for a month, and we are doing it here because...

Waitomo, NZ: Wood Burning Fire

All I did was watch YouTube videos and play subway surfers (my record was 31,000). We had 3 leg breaks and one of them we played football. And I caught one of them one handed which was cool because my legs were really tried. When we got to the cottage we...

Spooky October

On the first day in October, I went to the hockey rink, because it was a Tuesday. But when we got there no one was there. Someone told us that there is no hockey for the next two weeks. So we went to go free skating for 2 hours. But about five days before I hurt my right hand so whenever I would stick handle or shoot it would hurt a lot. Since my sister had nothing to do she...

September in New Zealand

In September, I started hockey. It was really fun. For the first time, I met two friendly friends. The next day, we went to Kadyn’s gymnastics, and before we went there, we went to Rebels Sports ( which is like Sportcheck), where I got a football.  After we went to Kadyn’s gymnastics we went to a restaurant. I got mac and cheese and my sister got grilled cheese. The mac and cheese was ok. That week we went to this...
