Going up north to Kaieo.

Last Friday at 12.30 in the afternoon we all started packing, and then we left.
On our way going there we were all getting comfortable because it was going to be a long trip, so I sat in the back so I could have a sleep because I was so tired it wasn’t funny.

We were nearly there when we all felt hungry, so my dad parked somewhere that we could buy something to eat. All I wanted was chicken and some chips, my mum got them fish and chips and I had chicken and chips. We had a quick feed and the we started to keep going.

We got there at 6 o’clock and my grandad was just started to do a phorfity and then we were welcomed onto the marae, We all started making our beds up and I slept in the middle of my cousin Anzac and my other cousin Shantel. We all had a really good night because we were all making each other laugh and then we got in trouble.

The next morning we were up real early and we had breakfast and the we all had to get changed for my grandmother and grandfather's unvaling, my cousins and uncles did a haka and a waiata. Then when we walked back to the marae me and my cousin Anzac were fighting over our little cousin Jack and the Anzac got angry at me and then he bumped me but then I thought for a second, “do you want to go to Anzac” he said “yes” we took little Jack to Anzac and then he was happy.

At the end of the day I felt happy hanging out with all my family and also I felt sad leaving.
