My Tauranga Holiday!

I was not here for five days. You know why???? Well? Anyway I was away because I went to Tauranga to see my Maori family. It was really good to see them again because I hadn't seen them since 2014 Christmas. I went on 2 planes to get there. The first plane to get to Wellington was 25 minutes and the second to get to Tauranga  took  about an hour. The food were well.....actually there was NO food, but Hannah the air hostess gave me a big cup of lollies. Air New Zealand lollies+Elly Mae= really happy! Anyway enough with lollies. When we arrived  in Tauranga, Pani my aunty was there, Manaia my cousin was there and John Lees my other cousin was there too. We started chatting in the car and laughed. We talked about school and life. John Lees said that there are 1200 kids in his school, and I said that there were over 400 kids in my school, and it's true.

We had a lot of fun, then we had dinner (fish n chips). After the AMAZING dinner Manaia and I said goodnight to Ruia, David and Tarangi. Oh! Silly me I haven't told you about little baby Ruia or even David and Tarangi. Well, Ruia is David and Tarangi's baby daughter. She is 6 months old. David is German and Tarangi his wife is Pani's daughter. I am really happy that I have so much family! So we said goodnight to them because they were going to bed. But Manaia and I were not going to bed yet! So we decided to play marbles.
Oh and it was a great game of marbles because I won!

After Marbles we drew some pictures of buffaloes wearing sunglasses sitting on motorbikes. Then my hands rubbed my eyes and the same happened with Manaia. John Lees was asleep and everyone else was asleep except for mum, manaia and I. So guess what??? TIME FOR BED!! Oh man! Anyway we walked to the bedroom and collapsed on the mattress.

The next day Mum, John Lees, Manaia and I went on a walk along the beach. I rode on John Lees's BMX bike, Manaia rode on her bike, Mum walked (like always) and John lees rode his scooter. When we got to the beachy place we all saw this amazing boat that had crashed or something it looked really fascinating. Then Manaia and I stumbled along the rocks and got on the sand. Then we made a really big, awesome rock pool for all of the crabs and creatures we found on the little sandy beach. John Lees and mum talked and then mum told Manaia and I that they were leaving. We were cool with it cause it was really fun making our rock pool and finding beach creatures.
