Mum, dad, can we get a drone please?

On Saturday, my family and I went to Noel Leeming to get my grandma a present for her birthday. "What do you want to get for your grandma's birthday?" my mum asked.
"A phone! We remember that she wanted one." we said.
"I'll give her $50!" I said.
"Me too", said my sister. My parents got $50 from the bank and then we went to Noel Leeming.

When we were inside, my sister, dad, mum and I looked for a phone. "Look! I found a drone!" my dad said. We were surprised because we've never seen a drone before. My mum was focused on finding a phone so she wasn't interested in looking at the drone. There were so many phones and they were all really nice. Before long, we came across a HTC phone. We liked it so we decided to get it. It took a while for my mum to pay for the phone. Meanwhile, my sister and I thought about playing our favourite game Agar.io.

We both went to the laptops and typed in the word Agar.io. We found the game so started playing it. My sister and I were using different laptops so we didn't have to wait for each other. As I was getting bigger, but then someone ate me. To play Agar.io, you start as a small ball and you need to eat small dots to get bigger or eat other people's if they're smaller than you. Growing bigger was difficult for my sister and I because there were more people that were bigger than us.

After a while, my mum finished paying for the HTC phone and we went home for a rest. I felt happy because we bought a gift for my grandma and we got to play Agar.io. Next year, I hope I can get an even better gift for her on her birthday.

This is so tasty!

During the weekend, my family and I wanted to go to Hamilton we packed our clothes and put them all in a big bag.

When we arrived in Hamilton, we went straight to my cousins house. I was so excited to see them because my family and I haven't seen them for a while. 

When we were inside, we started playing some games. First we played basketball. I wasn't that good at shooting but I persevered because I didn't want to give up. My cousin was great at shooting! We also sang karaoke. The songs that we sang stayed in my head for a long time. We sang Flashlight, Nyan cat and other songs. The most difficult song to sing was Nyan cat because you have to keep singing, nyan, nya, nya, nya, nya, nya... as rapidly as you can. Then we played some card games. My dad tricked me with a magic trick but I was able to see a loop hole. That was a lot of fun.

After that, we ate some food. There was Filipino food, chicken, sausage, hashbrown and more! My favourite was the chicken madness because it was crunchy and tasty. I tried to eat as slow as I could because I didn't want it to waste. We ate most of the chicken, because it was so delicious.

I had a fun time at my cousin's house because we played awesome games and ate delicious food! I hope I get to eat chicken madness more often.
