Going to the park is fun!

During the holidays my family and I went to the park but my parents had to stay at home because they needed to do some work around the house.

First we put my  their car seats, then everyone else came in the van as well. My big sister reminded  us to put our seat belts on because my brother always forgets. Then my big sister drove us to Pak'n'save so we could buy some food we bought  four  packets of Crunch cheese, four packets of Cheese balls and some lollies. We also bought some drinks, we bought some tropical juice and lemonade.

When we were finished with our shopping my sister took us to the park. When we arrived we all took off our seat belts and we couldn’t wait to get out of the van. First my little brother and I went on the slide because it was our favourite thing on the park, and we went on the slide 5 times. Then my little brother and I  went to my big sister, because my little brother didn’t want to play  anymore as he was feeling exhausted so I left him with my sister. My sister Rhonda and I had a swinging competition and my sister won and I lost but I didn’t mind because i had a lot of fun.

Soon my sister called us to have something to eat, I ate cruncheese because it was my favourite. My sister’s ate the rest of the chips, then I had a drink because I was thirsty, I had the lemonade.  When we had all finished eating, we went to play some more and that’s when my sister asked us if we wanted to have a race and I  said, “ sure”, I won the race.

Before long, it was time to go so we packed everything up so we could go home. I had a lot of fun playing with my family.

My favourite part was when we were eating our snacks because I was feeling really hungry by that time and I had used up a lot of my energy by then.
