Lost Rod.

You know how some people go camping for a holiday while others go overseas and some people  relax at a beach batch. Well my family went fishing at Te Horo with my Uncle and Aunt.   The water was very calm and restful but we weren ‘t. We wanted  fish  for dinner.This was a pretty bad day. Uncle Daniel had thrown his line out, but he hadn ‘t flipped the metal arm over the spool so the line  snapped and the sinker went soaring over us into the sea, like a marble from a sling shot. Dad had nothing on his line and neither did I.  So I put my rod on hold, turned to see what dad was doing , turned back and my rod was gone !!! I saw the trail of the rod leading towards the water. Instead of catching the fish the fish caught my rod.

Indoor Rockwall Climbing!!!

Indoor Rock Climbing

In the holidays I went indoor rock climbing with my cousins.  We were all really excited.  Most of the walls where two stories high.  Before we started we had to put on a harness and some special shoes.

I went on two different walls.  The second wall I went on I had two attempts at climbing up.  I did not go very high as I kept losing my grip and I did not know where to put my next hand.  I felt scared I was going to slip.  On my way down, I would not let go off the rocks because I thought I was too heavy for my aunty to hold so I had to climb down slowly.

My aunt Jude and aunt Kerry both had a turn at climbing a wall.  They both made it to the top.

After that I went on a bouncy mat with my younger cousins and Niamh.  We played tag and duck duck goose.

Just before we left, my older cousins Sam and Jacob had a race up one of the walls.    We all cheered them on and Sam won by a little bit.

We had lots of fun :-)
