Christmas



On Friday Robin, Mama, Papa and I hopped in the car to go to Lichfield. I had a little sleep on the way. When we got to Oma and Opa’s house I said “Hi” to Oma and Opa. Then I went to sleep on the bottom bunk of the bunk beds in a room full of Coca Cola things in it.

On Saturday Oom Ron came to Lichfield for an early Christmas and Christmas lunch with us all. We got to open our presents from Oma and Opa.

At Sunday lunchtime we hopped in our car to go to Wellington. We stopped at the Waiouru Army Museum. Robin and I were crawling on the Tanks outside. We stayed at a motel beside the beach in Petone.

On Monday we went to the Government buildings and saw the Beehive, Parliament House and old Library. In the basement, we were able to see how they have earthquake-proofed the building, by cutting it off its foundations and sitting it on huge rubber cushions. At Te Papa we saw the Colossal Squid. Next we went onto the Wellington Cable Car and we went up and down. Next we went Abrakedabra, a Turkish cafe, for dinner. I had a chicken kebab. At seven we went to line up to go on the Santa Regina (the Bluebridge Picton Ferry we were on). Then at eight we went onto the ferry so we could leave at nine. I was up watching Wall E and The Lego Movie during the crossing, while the rest of the family slept.

On Tuesday when we got to Picton at five-past-twelve in the morning we drove to Christchurch. When we got to Christchurch we went to sleep at Nana’s house. Then we went to the South Christchurch Library in Beckenham to meet Aunty Christine and Kaelan for lunch. I was playing Tanki Online while I waited for them. Then I got bacon and egg pie for lunch. Then we were watching another boy on a PS3 and I was helping him. Then they came to Nana’s to play before we went to Uncle Steve and Aunty Sue’s house in which I was playing with the Lego and Robin was playing with Action Man. After we put the toys away I was playing with Chloe the Terror, their new kitten. Then we opened our presents and I got Lego Technic Pull Back Motor.

On Wednesday Nana, Robin and I went over to Okains Bay for Christmas. I made up my Lego and it really works!!! Then we went to Church for a Christmas Eve Service. Then we went back to the house and went to bed.

The next morning when I woke up I opened up my Santa Stocking. I got my two favourite stuff which were Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Long Haul and The Wimpy Kid Do It Yourself Book. Before lunch Uggie, Grandma and Gugs came and we had Christmas lunch. Then we opened the rest of our presents.

Saturday and Sunday were really fun. Robin and I went to the beach on both days and on Saturday Robin and I got sunburnt, which was not quite so fun.

On Monday, we all drove back to Lincoln, and Robin and I stayed at Grandma and Gugs’ house while Mama, Papa, Uggie, Nana and Grandma went to Aunty Margret’s house for Aunty Margaaret’s birthday. Robin and I stayed with Gugs and watched TV, read books, talked to Gugs and did some washing for the family because at the house in the bay we only have an old ringer washing machine. We went back to O'Kains Bay that evening. The next day, John (Nana’s friend) came to visit us. On New Years Eve Robin, Mama, Papa and I stayed up until 12:00. We watched movies. On Janurary 1st Papa and I biked to the Summit Road and down again. It was really windy at the top.

On the 3rd of January we went to Grandma and Gugs' for two nights. We had heaps of fun. On the 4th, we went to Nana's house for a while, then we went to Uncle Steve's house and played with the Lego. Last we went to Papa's friends house whose name is Mark Hunter. While we were there we had a punch and an ice-block. After that I played with their toy trains, farm animals and toy cars. Then we got Dominoes pizza for dinner and went to Nana's to eat there. When we got back to Grandma and Gugs' house we went straight to bed. 

On the 5th we visited a friend of Mama's from Christchurch who now lives in Queensland (he and his family were visiting his mum), then we drove to Blenheim for the night. On the way we stopped at Kaikoura for lunch. We saw two seals!! They were really cute. The next day we biked to Omaka Aviation History Museum, which has displays of WW1 aircraft and memorabilia. While we were there we saw tons of World War 1 Fighters. My favourite display was the Red Barron's Death. The Red Barron was one of the best German World War 1 pilots. A bullet went through his plane and then through his body.



Before we left, Robin and I bought Jubilux, an equivalent to Lego. I bought the helicopter in the image, a jeep and a troop transport.



Then we biked to a winery and looked in the Wine Cellar. After that we biked back to the motel and I made up my jeep before we went to one more winery and the people there told us we should go and see the "Spy Domes" which are two balloons with massive radar dishes in them located in the Waihopai Valley. The next day we drove to Picton. Before leaving Blenheim, we went to Makana Boutique Chocolates, and were able to sample a few of their delicious chocolates! On the way to Picton, we went to another winery. When we got to Picton we were on the waterfront before we got on the Kaitaki to Wellington. Nigel Kennedy, a magician did a really awesome magic show. 

When we got to Wellington we drove until after midnight to Oma and Opa's house. When we woke up we were watching TV and then we played with our Jubilux.
