Swimming recount

                  Swimming recount

I wondered if it is going to be cold? Ahhhh! It’s cold! I hopped into the pool and ducked under. It was really refreshing and cool.
It was a Wednesday afternoon and it was boiling. Everyone had hopped into the pool and gathered around  Ms Kirkpatrick.  She told us the instructions. Before we had free time in the pool we swam to the other side of the pool and back without breathing. It was tiring. After that we got into a line and started swimming freestyle. Freestyle was little bit hard because you have to breathe at the right time. We all got tired so Ms Kirkpatrick told  us to do the stingray. Stingray is when you swim on your back and move your your arms up and down in the water. At the end we got to have a little bit of free time so I had handstand competition with my friends.

The next day on Thursday the sun was out again. We also got to swim again but this time in the morning. We did something way different compared to the other days. We had to do Dolphin dive and Duck dive. It was really awesome. I really enjoyed doing the Dolphin dive better than the duck dive. While doing the Duck and Dolphin dive we had to go down and get  disk. It was challenging but the best swimming activity we did all week.

On Friday Miss Kirkpatrick let me swim with the Friday group. I was so glad because it was so hot. Mr Burton said our activity was snorkeling so he gave us our snorkels. I started to swim and  played with  my friends underneath the water. I really enjoyed those three days. They were so awesome!!

My fabulous, fantastic holiday!

Yay! Yay! It’s Friday. I was waiting for this day. Today my brother and I were going out with my sister Crystal. First we went to mini golf near the airport. I was so excited. There were paths you can pick. One was the pirate ship and the other was the cave. We picked the pirate ship because the cave was full. We all had a blast! My brother won and I was angry but I enjoyed it.

After mini golf we had one of the most delicous food you can ever eat which is Dukin’ Donuts. It was so yummy I wanted some more. Than we had Wendy’s for lunch it was spectacular. There were like a big bottle of coke and there chips were like 5 of McDonald’s chips put together. Wants we finished headed to do something fun.

We went movies to watch Sione’s wedding 2. My sister Crystal Bought 3 ice creams, drinks and popcorn. It was yummy! The movie was really great I really enjoyed it. It was really funny but really sad too. We left the movies and went to go do 1 more thing with my sister before
we went home.

We sat in her car for a while deciding what to do then I came up with and idea POOL! My sister thought it was a great idea so we headed off. We finally got there it wasn’t that full so my sister went and payed. We started to play it was my sister and versus my brother. Of course we won but I got nothing except the white ball.

I wasn’t good at first but got better and better. Our time finally ran out so we left and said thank you to my sister. Then she drop us off and I told everyone about our day.
