                          Mother's Day


 Buzz buzz!! Up I was to get ready to go out and have some fun on Sunday with my mum, my sister, and I. I went to go and wake my mum up to get ready for Mother's Day. ‘Happy Mother’s Day ’ I said, she woke up to give me a big hug like a cuddly bear. After a little bit we started to get ready to go and have some fun. We went to get my sister at my Nan’s house. We were ready to go like a pack of wolves finding their prey. We were almost there in Whangarei.

 Tink!! A rock hit the window of our car as we were on the way into Whangarei. On our way we saw our Aunty going to have some breakfast. We went to go and get a car park. “Bang bang!!’’ The ground hit the bumper of our car. We jumped out of the car like frogs in a pond. I ran up to my Aunty like a bronco bull and I ran across the road and looked both ways. My Aunty and mum started talking then we hopped away like three rabbits in the meadow.

 Off we went to go and have some fun with my mum, my sister and I. First we went to go and have something to eat. Me and my Mum went to get a coffee and an ice chocolate- it was like a cold iceberg. Then we went to go shopping and go look around for a while. My mum went to get her nails done while my Sister and I went to get a drink at Tank. At the end of the day my mum, sister and I went to have some dinner at a place called Woodie’s- me and my mum had a big steak. I ripped up the steak up like a vicious tiger. My sister got a burger sandwich.
