Have you ever been to Rainbow's End?

I went with my family up North in the holidays. We went camping, swimming, crabbing and ate lots of food. We also went to Hamilton to meet my cousins.

We went to the beach and caught some crabs. It was really hard to find them because the waves were coming in. Finally we caught one. Hours later the crabs came out and we were able to catch lots. After that, we swam and played with the water!

After a lot of swimming, my family and I decided to go to Hamilton to have a sleepover at my cousin’s house, so we drove to Hamilton. A while later we arrived and it was dark. We thought before we went to bed, why not watch a movie? It was a horror movie. My baby cousin and I were CREEPED OUT! The others were being calm while I ran to the room and I shut the door behind me. I woke up the next morning and had breakfast. Since it was a boring afternoon, my cousins and I asked if we could go to Rainbow’s End. They said, “Yes since you’re all so bored.”

My family and I drove to Rainbow’s End along with my cousins and their parents. We said, “Thank you,” to our parents. Once our parents had paid for the tickets, my cousins and I decided to go on the 'roller coaster' for our first ride. The ride started and I was frightened because it was my first time on the 'roller coaster'. My two cousins and my sister we're not scared at all because is was their second time. 43 seconds later, the ride started. At first, the ride wasn't but when it went upside down, I screamed. Our second ride was the Pirate Boat ride. It wasn't fun but when the boat was rocking, my cousins, sister and I had butterflies in our tummy. Our third ride was the ‘Log’. It was kind of creepy at the start. My older cousin Grant said, “This is beautiful.” “Yes but creepy,” I replied. At the end of the ride, we slid down a steep hill in the log. Water splashed onto us. It was amazing and enjoyable. Our last ride was the ‘Invader’. We had to wait for a long time. That ride was the 3rd best ride that I went on that day.

My holiday was the best because my family and I got to spend the holiday my cousins and their family. I hope my next holiday will be just like this one.
