Actionworld

On Saturday the 4th of April my family and I went to Actionworld at Paihia to celebrate my nephew’s birthday.

It was a long ride to where Action world was I went with my cousin Kim and my little nephews Noerene and Connor. When it seemed like we would never get there we arrived at ACTIONWORLD  I was already getting excited looking at all the fun things you could do there.My other cousin Christle paid for me to get in and I hurried to what I thought looked interesting, the first thing I tried was you had to jump off this not so high platform and jump onto a mat with softer mats underneath I than jumped off and felt comfyness under me.I was then off again to a long slide one rule they had there was you had to get a potato sack to slide on while coming down I got one and started climbing up the inflateable stairs which I found very difficult. I was then up the top and I heard my little sister Brielle at the bottom waiting for me yelling out

“Go Talia go” in a excited voice.

I hopped in the potato sack and slid down I was going fast and then camp to a jump that made your heart beat fast I was than on the mat of comfiness I found that slide very exciting. But then I heard my cousin Wiremu yelling my name out

“Talia come hop on here and try beat me”with a proud voice he had

It was a bean that one person had to be at each end and the person opposite your end you had to try and push them off to win the game but it had little battons that you had to use instead of your hands. I went on and found my balance not so well my first three steps I was struggling with do I already knew I was going to lose so all I said to him was “Laters”,

and jumped off the beam onto another mat of comfiness all I could hear was the laughter of my cousin’s voice and he then jumped off the beam straight after.

It was then time for the long slippery water slide which looked very fun my little nephews were already on there and I was watching them for a little while, then I decided to go on my first turn I thought was bumpy but after 2 turns I loved it my older cousins then got on they were Molly,Mara,Christle,Logan,Kateana,Kolio,Wiremu and lots more. I loved the water slide but got hungry so I had a quick bite to eat and then held my little nephew Mesiah who was just born 7 months ago so he was still little which I thought was cute. I held him until my mum came and said to enjoy my time since there was little time left. I held a little more turns on the water slide then went on the trampoline they had there it was super bouncy and fun which was cool. I went on the long slide again showing my cousin Mara how to do it and I was tired out after that so I just did little things that they had there like hollow hoping,putting the rings in the little pole,trying to walk along a tightrope and the rock climbing wall. After all the small activities I got to hold Mesiah again so I took him around showed him where everyone was and what they were doing and after showing him everything it was time to go and get dinner to eat by the beach.

I loved my time at Actionworld and mostly spending time with my family I hope I get to go there again.

A Day At Takapuna Beach

         A Day At Takapuna Beach

It was a hot sunny day and I was going to the beach with my older brothers Peter and Michael,my little sister Brielle and Peter’s girlfriend Tracy. We all packed what we needed in the car and drove off to Takapuna Beach.

We arrived at the packed beach and found a car park near the shade, unpacked the car and found a perfect spot to set up our things right next to a tree that had lots of shade and was right next to the beach. Then  we set up all of our things like our pillows,blankets,towels,food and put all of the drinks in the cooler, and of course we also had to leave a spot for the other people that were coming.

My little sister went to go play on the sand and then I took her down to go play in the water. I didn’t want to get wet yet and my sister said the water was too cold, so we stayed away from the water and collected seashells instead.  I found a complete cockle shell which was partially white with blended bits of orange that reminded me of the sunset.I was so impressed with it that I took it back to my family and I felt really happy when  Tracy also agreed that it looked pretty.Carefully  I laid it where I thought it would be safe and then I laid down in the sun.

After I laid down for a while I decided to go for a swim so me Peter,Tracy and Brielle went to the water while Michael staid back to look after our stuff,when my feet touched the sand they started burning the sand was so hot I ran quickly to the water and cooled down my feet. The water was more warmer now so it was easy to swim without being cold, all of the waves that kept on coming and coming were so big I kept on getting knocked over by them then I thought it was time to go back to the land.I had to run quickly back again and dried myself in the sun while I had something to drink and eat.At around 1:00 some of Tracy’s family came and we all started to set up where their stuff would go  I played with Tracy’s neice Jaydean then got her all ready to play in the water. As I carried Jaydean down to the water she was eager to splash around with me then Tracy and Jaedyn’s mum came down to the water with us as well and after a while we all got hungry and went to have a big lunch. I had Chicken rolls with chips,sausages,salad and bagel crisps but for a treat I got Chocolate Santa’s and Chocolate Coins. Me and the rest of my family did a chocolate toss where Tracy’s mum threw all of the chocolate in the air and whoever caught it got to eat the chocolate, I got some chocolate but then they got stolen from me and I only had a few but it was ok cause I was full.

It was almost coming to the end of the day and I wanted to go for another swim  I went with my friend Christina and we both went very far than when we finished our swim I found a dead crab on our way back.We picked it up and put it on my older brother who fell asleep on the blankets and he got up straight away so did his girlfriend and we both laughed but the laughter was over because. It came to the end of the day so I took Brielle to the showers near us and just washed our bodies with our togs still on of cause, then we went back dried ourselves and put our clothes on top of our togs than said our goodbyes to everyone there and took our stuff back to the car to go home.

It was a very nice and cool day I loved seeing everyone and having fun also going for nice swims. I can’t wait to go back to Takapuna Beach again.
