In the
holidays I went to Ohakune with my whole family. The first thing on Friday morning I went to
school with my brother. His name is
Daniel. We didn’t take our school bags
to school with us because we were not staying for lunch. We were at school a little while and then my
dad picked us up. Next we picked up my
older brother Tini. Tini can drive.
Together
we drove to the airport to hire a snow car so that we could drive in the
snow. After that my dad drove the new
car home and my brother Tini drove our old car home. At home we waited for my mum and baby
sister. My mum was at work.
When
my mum and sister arrived home we packed our stuff into the car and we drove
away. When we got to the motorway my mum
and dad spotted my aunty. She was ahead
of us on the motorway. My uncle and
nephew were in the car with her. My
aunty spotted my mum and dad in her rear vision mirror. We followed my aunty and she led us off the
motorway to a McDonald’s. At McDonald’s
my mum got us sprite and some Georgie pies.
The Georgie pies tasted good.
They were mint and cheese.
After
we had eaten we drove back onto the motorway.
We followed my aunty to Ohakune.
It took us a long time to get there.
When we got to Ohakune we stayed in a house, but we didn’t have to
pay. It was like a hotel. After dinner we got out our sleeping bags and
went to sleep.
In the
morning we got changed into our warm clothes and then we went to the snow. When we got to the snow we went to a
house. At the house I hired a snowboard,
a jacket and some gloves. Then Frank, my
cousin’s brother, told us we could join a snowboard school. The funniest thing was when I snowboarded
down the slope and fell into the snow. I
accidently ate the snow. It tasted like
water.
After
the snowboard lesson we went to the very top of the mountain. When we got there we snowboarded down. We always fell down. It was cold so my cousin and I went down on the
gondola. Later we went back to the house
that we were staying in. It was fun
snowboarding on the mountain.
