We even practiced how to get up when we fall over, it's not easy.

On Thursday it was time to head to Wanaka.

In my car there was mum and Hayden and I.

We followed Mrs Schreurs to her house and she parked her car and Mrs Schreurs came in our car to Wanaka. First we stopped at Gore to assemble. Away we go to Wanaka, Hayden and I played car travel search game.

Before we know it were at Alex. Then we got to Wanaka Lake View Holiday Park. We sorted our rooms and in my room there was Hayden, Bond and I. So we started to play a game with Andy. Finally it was time to have tea, it was yum. We made our lunch for the next day and went to bed.

Beep, beep 6 o clock, we ate breakfast and in the cars and up the mountain. We got all our skis and boots and the essentials!!!  It was really windy with lots of snow, it was like the Antarctica up the mountain and lessons begun. It was hard to see. So we called it a day at lunch time, so we went home really early. It sucked that we had to go home early. It was a slow trip down the mountain because it was snowing. Away home we go, next thing we were at Frankton, and before we know it we are at Mrs Schreurs house, and then fish and chips and bed.

I love skiing because you can go about 80km going down the hill and I can’t wait till next year when I go skiing.

Ski Trip

On Thursday after school the seniors headed to Wanaka for skiing. We stayed in Wanaka at a lodge. Dad and I stayed in a room together.  For tea I had lasagne, saveloys and bread.

Mr Saunt played a game and we sat in a circle and had some tongs, you could say crossed, open and closed .I found out it had nothing to do with the tongs, because you had to do it with your feet so if you said open you would have your feet open.

I had very cosy p j’s, I woke up at one o’clock, then I woke up at the right time. When dad got off the top bunk he crashed into the coat hangers.

For breakfast I had eggs and spaghetti. Then we got into the cars and when we got to the bottom of the road to the mountain. Bond and his mum came into my car.

When we got up there we got our skis and ski boats, mine were perfect. When we got out I was on the learners slope it was really fun but I couldn’t get up. When I went on the big mountain I didn’t really enjoy it. Then we went home and had an ice cream .

Ski Camp

On Thursday after school we went on ski camp at Wanaka. My Dad took Dave, Stirling, Zek and I in our … Mazda 6!!!

We had just left and I had pulled my tooth out.

We finally got there. We sorted our room’s out and I stayed with Stirling, Zek, Jimmy. I got a double bed . We went to bed at 8.00 and couldn’t get to sleep till 12.00.

We woke up and got ready, and left . When we got there we went straight to hire, we got our stuff and we were out of there and on the ski field in time for our lessons. We got our instructor, and we were off.

The ski field was freezing. She was always stopping. When the lesson was over my Dad , Bond , Stirling and I went up the mountain, the ski lifts kept stopping, it was annoying. Then we had to leave early because of the weather. So we left. When we were in Gore we got McDonalds, then we got home.

Skiing!

Bam! Bam! It’s Thursday afternoon, I’m ready for the trip of my life. “We’re going Skiing,” I yell as we hopped in the car. Jessica came with me and my grandad. “Are we there yet” I kept yelling, it’s taking forever to get there. Yay! We’re in Wanaka but we’re lost. “Grandad there it is Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park”.

We walked in to the smell of tea. Mrs Norman went early so that tea would be ready. Aaaaa… It’s time to go to bed, I slept with Courtney. “Wakey, Wakey” I say to Courtney, “we’re going skiing.”

Look there’s Cardrona Ski Field, look at all the snow. We got our gear straight away when we got there. I had a lesson first. We went on the big slope. It was fun. The snow kept hitting our face’s, it hurt, I felt like crying.

We left at one thirty. I was cold and wet. On the way home Jimmy, Jessica and Zeky came home with us. We went to my Uncle Bills house he has three dogs Toot, Coke and Ed. Ed was Zeky’s dog and Coke was Jimmy’s dog and Toot was my dog, Jessica didn’t have a dog. We went to Arrowtown, we saw the Chinese Village it was cool. Then we went to Queenstown and drove around, we saw boys in theirjockeys because they had been swimming. Jessica saw someone getting dressed without his curtains closed.

We stopped in Lumsden for tea I had a sandwich. Zeky and Jimmy were fighting over chips in their sleep. I sang really loud in the car and I scared everyone. I wish I could go next year but I’ll be at Menzies.
