ANZAC Weekend

On the weekend I went to the ANZAC parade with my dad.  We saw soldiers, nurses, planes and helicopters.  The planes and the helicopters threw red poppies down on us.  They looked like lots of little red dots raining down on us.  After that I prayed for the soldiers.  Then we went to the museum. 

At the museum I saw a map of Gallipoli in the game of Minecraft.  Minecraft is my favourite game.  We also saw some soldiers with guns.  Their guns looked like the guns in Minecraft.  I loved my day.

Mother’s Day

On Friday my mum, dad and I went to Austria for Mother’s Day.  We went by plane and I fell asleep in the plane.  When we got to Austria my mum’s mum (my grandma) and my mum’s dad (my granddad) picked us up from the airport.  Then we went to my grandma’s and grandad’s home.  They live in an apartment.  It was late and so we all went to sleep. 

The next day we went to a café for breakfast.  It was Mother’s Day.  I wished my mum a happy Mother’s Day and she gave me lots of hugs and kisses.  Next we went for a walk in the forest.  It was snowing so it was cold.  We had a terrific Mother’s Day together.  I was happy and so were my Mum and Dad, and my grandparents.

Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day my mum, my brother and I went to the swimming pool.  At the swimming pool I bombed, dived and splashed with my mum and my brother.  The best thing I liked doing was bombing.  I made short splashes.  It was fun.

After that we went to the Sylvia Park shopping mall.  At the mall we went shopping.  We bought an Xbox 360, with games, at the Warehouse.  It was cool but I would really like to get an Xbox Live so that I could play online with my friends.

After that we went to McDonald’s and to KFC to get some food to eat and something to drink.  Some of the food was very expensive.  It was very busy in the food court.  We had a nice lunch and I was full.  My mum was happy.  We all had a good Mother’s Day.

On Mother’s Day Justin, my baby brother, and I gave our mum a present.  I gave her a Mother’s Day card that I had made at school.  My baby brother gave her a flower.  She said, “Wow”, and she kissed and hugged us.

Next we went to the Filipino restaurant.  First, I had an orange drink with some coke in it.  It tasted yummy.  Then we had a big cake.  It was a strawberry chocolate cake.  We all had a piece of the cake each.  It tasted like a rainbow cake.

Going to the ANZAC Parade

On the weekend I went to the ANZAC Parade.  I went with my family.  We saw soldiers and nurses, trucks and planes.

The nurses were cool and so were the soldiers.  I liked it that the soldiers had guns and I liked their trucks too.  Some nurses and the soldiers were inside the trucks.  The soldiers in the trucks were made up to look as though they were wounded.  The driver tooted the horn.  It went toot, toot like an olden day horn.  The horn is made of rubber and then the driver squeezed it to make the tooting sound.  That was fun.  There was also a brass band.  The soldiers blew trumpets and made marching music.  I marched in time to the music.  It was very cool. 

There were poppies falling out of the sky and planes in the air.  The planes were old.  They looked like birds in the sky.  There was one plane that had smoke coming out of it and the smoke was made up of lots of different colours.  It was white, red and blue. 

My family and I prayed for the soldiers that were in the war, including those that had died and are now with God in heaven.  After that we went to the museum.  It was a serious but it was a fun day too.
