School holiday

The problem and the help

On The 12th of July 2021, my family packed up one of our cars and hooked up our boat to the car.  We were off to Leigh for 4 days to celebrate my Aunties 30th birthday.   But first we needed to pick up my Dad from the Kerikeri airport.  As we were driving along 2 kilometres  from the airport Mum realized that one of the boat tires had burst and that we had to take the tire off and put the spare one on.  But after half an hour of trying we couldn't take off the old tire or even get the boat off the car.  But just as Mum thought that we would have to walk all the way to the airport and pray that they wouldn't get stolen, a man came along and said that he would look after the boat and the car for us.   Mum said “Thanks I feel like a leprechaun that has been given a pot of gold. 

Back on the road  :)

My Mum got me to run down the road to the Kerikeri  airport to pick Dad up.  Dad was waiting when I got to the airport and when he saw me he asked me  “Where are the others?”  and I answered, “ They're two kilometers down the road with the car and the boat.”   When heard that the car and the boat were two kilometers down the road he gasped and sprinted to go to the toilet and grab his luggage.   We ran down the road in record time and I felt like not even a leopard could run as fast as me and my Dad.

10 minutes later Mum and Dad had managed to put the new tire  on the boat and we were driving out of Kerikeri with four and a half hours to go.  Three hours later my Dad and all the boys in the car were sleeping and we had one hour to go till we arrived at Leigh!!! 

    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

The rest of the holiday

We Arrived at the holiday batch at 8:00.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           When we entered the batch all I could smell was the comforting scent of NACHOS!!                                

As soon as we walked through to the dining room we were smothered in hugs and happy squeals. It sounded like they had just discovered a pot of gold.  Exactly nine seconds we were being told to sit down  and eat up.  After one minute I felt like I was going to burst!  Several times that night I felt like I was going to burst.  But the worst was to come the next day.  But all you need to know is that it passed and that the rest of the holiday passed very quickly (like we were riding a cheetah)  and that no more problems occurred.
