Could someone please peel off the shrimp skin for me?

On a cold cloudy morning, my family and I wanted to go to Hamilton to visit our cousins, aunties, uncles, grandma and grandpa. "I can't wait to go to Hamilton again!" my sister and I exclaimed excitedly.
          While we were going to Hamilton, my sister and I felt bored of listening to my mum and dad's conversation so we decided to play on our iPads. We were both playing a game called Farm heroes saga. I kept on losing the game because it was so confusing. Soon we arrived.
          First, my cousin Kylie and I exercised before we played dodge ball. "Okay, run as hastily as a cheetah to the end of the deck and back five times," I said to her. Then it was my turn. I had to do it 12 times in high speed.
          Then dinner was served. I ate some shrimps and mussels because it was one of my favourite sea foods to eat. The shrimp's skin was slimy which caused it to become hard and took a while to peel off. "Yum!" my cousin said. My grandma, grandpa, aunties, uncles, mum and dad were so busy laughing and chatting to each other so quickly that I couldn't hear a single word.
          Once my cousins, sister and I had finished eating our foods, all of us playing dodge ball. The first tagger who had the ball was R.J. "Ah, I got hit!" I called out loudly. Then it was my turn. After I had a couple of tries, I threw a big hit towards my sister. "Yes," I said. My sister was great at targeting others.
          It was an awesome time down in Hamilton because we got to eat seafood like shrimps, mussels and fish. We also got to play a lot of fun games. I hope we could go back to Hamilton again so that we could visit my cousins, aunties, uncles, grandpa and grandma again soon.

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.
