My holiday

On the first day of the holiday l did absolutely nothing. I sat and watched television all the time. My sister's friend came over for a sleepover.


They won't play with me and even tell story's with me. Lola was her name. Lola was from Zambia. They we talking about the school they went to. Lola told us that she was going to watch Bruno. We all said that's not age appropriate for you.



On the 15th we talked to our parents saying that Lola is going today and going to the movies. We told our parents that we want to go and watch Harry Potter we all said ''please''!


My dad went to see if Harry Potter was age appropriate for us. He said my sister Faith was allowed to go and watch the movie because she is going to be 15 soon but me and my brother Ethan. We could not all go because it was rated M.




The next day we played basketball in my yard. Then went to Woden at night and went to many different shops and bought nothing . We went back home and watched television. When l went to my room I played PlayStation 2 with my little brother. We played it for about half an hour.



The next day my parents said that we were going to the movies we watched Ice age 3 it was great. When the movie was finished we decide to have a lot of fun. We said that we wanted to go to Questacon. I had a lot of fun.



I went to sleep at about 12 o'clock l was every tired. When I woke up it was 10 o'clock I went to take a bath and got dressed. I asked my parents what we were doing today. They said that we were going to the Parliament house.



The next day we were going back to school so we had to go to sleep early. This was my best holiday of them all in Ania.
