Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day

Crash! I fell out of my bed and onto the grey scruffy carpet, “Its Waitangi Day!” I mumbled to myself wondering why I was on the floor. I jumped up and stretched my bones then I walked out to the lounge and turned on the wifi (I think we all know why I did that). The next thing you know I'm in my bed playing on my tablet. After about an hour of that (Believe it or not) I was greeted by my mum “Good morning Luke” she said,I replied by saying “Good Morning”. A few hours passed and it was nearly six o'clock then...RING RING RING!! The phone started ringing everyone was startled (I didn’t Introduce the rest of the family, just so you know I have a brother a sister and dad) mum picked up the phone, it was my aunty and my uncle! They said they were coming over for dinner. An hour passed and they were here! First we had a swim with my cousin,my cousins friend and my brother, I jumped into the river and it was freezing cold. After awhile I had a race with my brother we were racing as fast as the airflow my brother dashed in front of me and won the race, but we had fun anyway. And too top of the day me my brother, my dad and my uncle went clay shooting. It was awesome I pulled a string and the disc went flying into the night sky and then my dad shot it with a gun in mid-air and it blasted into a million pieces.The only downside was that me and my brother had to pick up all the leftover pieces  (I also forgot to mention I had fish and chips for dinner).
