America #3 & 4 (California Land & Disneyland)

Thursday 20 March

Today we woke up early and went to go and have breakfast. First when we got to Disneyland we got our tickets and went down Buena Vista Street where we had to wait for 15 minutes. Once we could go through we were going to go to Cars Land but too many people were already going there so we went to Paradise Pier. The first thing we did there was California Screamin' a high speed roller coaster. Then we went on Toy Story Midway Mania. I can't remember what we did in order after that but what I did will be in the next sentence. We did Disney Junior Live on Stage, Monsters INC, It's Tough to Be a Bug, Francis' Ladybug Boogie, Flik's Flyers, Tuck & Stamp; Roll's Drive 'Em Buggies, Heimlich's Chew Chew Train, Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, Luigi's Flying Tyres, Radiator Springs Racers, Goofy's Sky School, World of Colour, Grizzly River Run (which I did 4 times) and Soarin' Over California. After that  we went home to the motel.

Friday 21 March

This morning we woke up later than we wanted and had breakfast then we walked to Disneyland. We went through the ticket place and waited for 10 minutes. I again can't remember what we did in order but here is what we did.

America #2

Tuesday 18 March 2014

We had a safe landing in Los Angeles today but, once we got inside the Los Angeles airport terminal (LAX), Robin was sick. Then we went through customs. On the plane I watched three movies called Happy Feet, Bedtime Stories and Frozen.  It is still Tuesday today because from New Zealand we take away 4 hrs and go back to yesterday because we crossed the international date line. We got our rental car and came to the hotel where we played some CA Rugby Challenge. Then we did our blogs. On the first plane we went into the cockpit. Driving to the motel we saw lots of yellow school busses like the magic school bus.

Round the Bays 2014

On Sunday 9 March Robin, Papa, Mama and I went to do Round the Bays. When we got there we went to the toilets before going to where the Compac team were meeting.

The results were:
Karl: 0hrs: 50min: 12sec. 4223 overall.
Robin: 0hrs: 50min: 10secs. 4207 overall.
Papa: 0hrs: 51min: 37secs. 4868 overall.
Mama: 0hrs: 50min: 50secs. 4531 overall.
Jonathan (someone from my dads work): 0hrs: 25mins: 56secs. 1st overall.

When we finished we went to the Compac tent site to have drinks and a BBQ.

I felt happy when I finished, and exhausted and tired.

Christmas Day

On Christmas Day I woke up early and went to my Mum and Dad's room. Robin was already in there and we all opened our stockings. I got a magic set, a Darth Vader Lightsabre, two Hot Wheels, some cookies, and chocolates. From Robin I got a necklace. From Uncle Steve and Aunty Sue I got a Nerf Gun and a T-Shirt. We then went to Aunty Listy's house for breakfast and got presents there. I got a Nerf flying football, All Blacks Pillow Pet and heaps of other cool stuff. Following that, we went to Hamilton for a late lunch with Papa's family and opened some more gifts before we came home the next day. The best thing about Christmas was seeing family.
