Tennis, Tennis and Tennis

Last Friday I made a challenge against Mikayla Fleming on the ladder so I could be in the under 12 rep taranaki tennis team.
Me and Mum had to drove an hour to Mania to play that tennis match.
When we got there I was so nervous. I had some hits with Mum to calm my nerves until Mikayla turned up. She was half an hour late so that meant I had a good warm up.
I had some hits with her and immediately thought I was going to lose because she was just smashing them back at me. But when it got to the real ting every hit she tried to hit hard at me it went out or in the net.
I was just playing it safely and used my patience to wait for the right moment to smash it past her.
In the end I kept that up and won in straight sets 7 – 2, 7- 1.
And after that fight, I was really tied and Mum was really proud of me.

Nana's B/Day

In the holidays it was my Nana Linley’s Birthday and she was going to have at Belt Road in New Plymouth.
Before we left Mum booked a cabin for us at the same place the party’s at. But before we showed up we bought her a gold and silver necklace. Dad had a hair cut at centre city and then we got a bite to eat and then we went to see the family.
We got there and had a chat, then Scott and Mathew wanted to go for a swim so I took them down to the beach right in front of there camp site. I didn’t go for much of a swim because it was FREZZING, but the boys didn’t seem to feel the cold ness. So I got out early and told Nana to come and watch them swim so I could go and get dressed.
We had another little chat then we went to a restaurant and that also was right in front of us to.
We had a nice dinner. I had the B.L.T and most of the adults had the fish of the day.
After dinner I, Kerri, Rebecca, Shane, Scott and Mathew went for a walk along the Warf and when we were nearly at the end of it these bugs turned up and they were flying all around our faces, I thought they looked more like Moses.
So then we started to fast walk to the end and back, but we had a couple of stops watching to see if anybody had caught a fish, but some of them looked like that a fish was on their line, but really they were just stuck on the rocks.
When we got back the others were waiting for us and when we were up to walking up the step track to the caravan, we set of up the hill.
When we got up to the top we gaped some of the cushion and sat out side on the mat.
We played some brain teasing games. We did that for quit a while and then Scott and Mathew went in to the caravan for a little sleep because they we that tied.
When we were nearly ready to leave, we woke up Scott and then we offered if Kerri and Rebecca if they wanted to stay with us in the cabin. They came with us and it was so, so hot that we had to leave the windows wide open.
In the morning we got up and had a shower and went back to the caravan, and also we had one of our family’s friends next door in her tent her name was Squid.
We had another little chat and then Mathew had to go home and then we went ten Pin Bowling and after that we went swimming at the aquatic centre, with Kerri.
While we were doing that Shane, you see couldn’t swim because he had his massive cut on his leg. So he went t Francs Douglas to get his uniform.
We went back to the caravan to say good bye and then we went to get some lunch and after that we went to Harvey Norman to buy a new Laptop.
We bought this really good one and then on the way back home we were playing on it the whole way. We had five minutes each then we had to stop.
When we got home we were so tied to do any thing really.
