My Holiday

last week me and my family went away for the week to our batch in Mokau. There were a few cold mornings but the afternoons were nice and warm. At the back of the batch there was an estry which is a sort of like a stream going into the ocean, and then there was the great big ocean heading into the Tasman sea right in front of us. Me and my family picked up rocks and shells and spelt our names with them. We had a picnic at the estry and built a fire to roast our marshmallows for our smores, and sizzled our sausages for our bread. We watched the sun go down and played in the sand. I built a hut under a tree and washed up driftwood. When the tide went out me , Mum and my sister Jol went for a walk on the big empty muddy sand, we found a mysterious cave that would be filled up when the tide is in. We splashed in the waves, drew pictures in the sand and collected shells, it was a great week.
