On thee 25th of July my dad, sister and I went to Mt. Albert grammar gymnasium to play some games and have some fun. We went to the gymnasium in the car. My aunt, uncle, cousins, niece and nephew were at the gymnasium. I could not wait to go and play lot's of games.
When we arrived to the gymnasium after an enduring ride with lot's of traffic jams. First we said, "Hello!" to everyone, then we rushed to the basketball court to play some hoops. The hoop was incredibly high up. I was really awful at aiming for the hoop that even my girlish niece was way superior than me. Sometimes I would grab the ball just to prove that I am good at playing hoops. I shot only once or twice while everyone else were getting their shots in at least several of times.
My niece, cousins, sister and I finally recommended having a rest because we were absolutely exhausted. We cooled down at the corner of the gymnasium and we watched the adults play volleyball while we listened to some music. A the music was playing we danced and people looked at us awkradly. The babies kept on rushing us dancing, they were so cute and dainty. Next we decided to play continuous line ta. We were running and sprinting all around the gymnasium. I was so awesome. I would always be the tagger and it was so hard to try not to be in.
After a while we played a game called day and night. We were so tired and yet we carried on playing. I loved being in for the first time in ever. It was so fun but at the same time it was hard because we had to be blind-folded and we kept running into each-other. I was pretty positive that I was good at this game so this turned out to be a good game. We were having lots and lots of fun. After that we had to go home and it was another long drive home again.
I had so much fun at the gymnasium. I hope next time we go to the gymnasium we can play day and night again because it was my favorite game. I also had a pleasant and mysteriously time with my family. I thought I would be good at shooting hoops but I was not.

Yay! I'm going to Mt. Albert again!
On the 20th of June we went to Mt. Albert gymnasium with my parents and my siblings by car. We went there to have some fun together.
When we first arrived my aunt, uncle, cousins and niece were all there.We started playing basketball straight away. After a while, my cousin asked me to help her find her contact lenses. We looked everywhere but it was extremely hard to find because it was dark and the contact lenses are very tiny. However when we went back to their car , we found it stuck on the door.
Next we had another problem. My cousin had lost 40 dollars, but luckily my cousin and I spotted it under the car. Fortunately it was under the car otherwise it would have been blown away for it was very windy. I went back to play some more. I played master with my cousin and we played for a long time. Then we played hand-ball and it was really fun.
After a while, my sister taught my cousin and I some basic skills about netball. She taught us how to pass and catch the ball. Next we had a game of netball. I got two goals in the hoop. It was very hard because it was very high up, tall as the tallest man in the world. My sister is really at playing netball. She was playing as if she were playing all her life. Sometimes I would get butterflies in my stomach as the the ball comes towards me as if it was going to hit me! Whenever I am not participating my sister looks at me and it looks like as if she was saying "Pull your socks up!"
Finally it was time to go . We went to MacDonald's for some dessert. We had soft-serve ice cream and some frozen coke. Then we went home.
I had so much fun! I hope next time we can go to Mt. Albert and spend more time together as a family.
We are learning to understand and use descriptive language.
