 My Birthday.

On a warm Saturday morning I woke up and said, “It’s my birthday.”

I said to my mum, “Are we still going to mini golf?”

My mum said, “Yes we are.” I said with excitement, “I can’t wait till we go to mini golf.”

I ran fast as a cheetah straight into the car.   Me, my two brothers and my mum and dad all went into the car all dressed up.

My mum said, “Remember we're going to Kingwah tonight.”

Me and my brothers said, “Oh yeah I remember that.” So we drove all the way to mini golf in Kerikeri.  When we were there I jumped out of the car. My mum and dad and brothers

walked out of the car and we walked in. There was a man standing there. We had to give the money to him so he grabbed a club and gave one club to me and one club for both of my brothers and one for my dad and mum. I felt excited to start mini golf. So we even got a ball they were different colors. I got a yellow ball. My mum got a pink one. My dad got the real one, the white one. Tristan got blue. Chace got a red one. We walked to the first playing area. Chace went first. He whacked his ball and he hit the side of the wall and it bounced backwards and forwards. So then it was my turn. I whacked my ball and said quietly, “Please get a hole in one. Please get a hole in one.” I missed.

I said out loudly, “Nooo!” Then it was my mum’s turn. She hit her ball then her one missed. So my dad had a turn. He missed as well. So Tristan hit his ball so hard that it came all the way back. There were 13 places to hit the ball in. Throughout the whole game Tristan got a hole in one two times, I got it once, my mum got it 2 times as well. My dad got it 2 times and Chace got it once. When we finished the game we drove to Kingwah. When we got there It just opened. Then we walked in. I sat on the chair inside. I said, “I wonder what kind of yummy foods are in here?” Then I said, “Hey mum there's an ice cream machine. I hope it’s not cold as ice. I might have it for dessert.” So we walked to get the hot food. I grabbed some chips. They were as hot as fire so I grabbed them with a fork. There were even these crackers. They were different colors but they still tasted yummy. We all got some food. All the food was so hot. I even grabbed a chip. It was so hot I dropped it and said out loud, “Oww!” My dad got us a drink. It was fanta. When we finished dinner me, Tristan and Chace went to get an ice cream. There were lollies and small biscuits and I saw some chocolate sauce. Me and Tristan got some ice cream with chocolate. It tasted like the Sunday from Mcdonalds. It was so yummy.
