It's so close I can smell it!

the car trip

When we are there we do a lot of  mountain biking and by a lot I man A LOT!  

Are we there yet? HELLO EVERYBODY AND WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! In these Easter holidays I went to Rotorua, every year our family, my Mums family and my Dads family go up to Rotorua for four days. It's a long drive but it's worth it.
My bike
Tokorangi - a Red Woods forest MTB Track
When we got to our campground cabin place thingy-ma-gig, we unpacked the car (we were the first there) [as always.] Then about 20 minutes later (part of) my Mum's family arrived. They unpacked their car (while Jacob and I played with our cousins,) there is; Anya - the oldest, Kahu - the middle child and Matilda - the youngest. It was then time for dinner! For dinner we had meatballs! They were yummy! I then watched a movie on the T.V. I think it was... uh... Oh well, I can't remember. The next day I woke in the morning and got ready for a bike ride, my Dad's side of the family turned up last night, they also bought a friend with them (Will.) My cousins names are; Liam - the oldest, Declan (Deccy) - the youngest and Will - their friend (who is older than Declan.) We then set off for our bike ride, we would be riding in the Red Woods forest. We did some tracks which I don't want to name cause it would take for years and years to come! So thats it for this week!

HILLARY OUTDOORS EDUCATION CENTRE (camp)

HELLO EVERYBODY AND WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! Last week the year8s got to go to camp (while the year7s were stuck at school.) We got to really cool stuff like high-ropes, caving, canoeing and so much more! There was some things that were challenging and some things that were easy peasy.
Me when i saw the wetas

The thing that I found challenging was caving: this was because I have a fear of bugs ----------------------------------------------------->
and I also get claustrophobic easy, (story of my life.) But since doing caving my claustrophobia fear has disappeared! 

Things I found easy were, high ropes (I won a bet) and canoeing, the reason I found high ropes easy was because I love heights and... Yeah. The reason I found canoeing easy because it wasn't to hard and I was staring the boat (harder than you think.) 

I expected camp to amazing this was because all the year8s from last year said "OMG OMG OMG!!!! CAMP IS AMAZING!!!" So my expectations were higher than the clouds and when my expectations are high that means things usually turn out to be really bad, but... CAMP PASSED THOSE EXPECTATIONS! ("I wasn't expecting that!")

My favorite moment was when I jumped off the BRIDGE! This was because I got the most     A-MA-ZING adrenaline rush ever!  

My proudest moment was when I did caving because (I saw spiders and wetas but don't worry I didn't die I just screamed myself to death:) ) But the reason I was proud is because I conquered my claustrophobia fear!

Thanks for reading my blog and I will see you next week!

Fact of the week!
