Girl guides

OMG why are you bringing me a bowl of jelly?
Why is there a bag with badges in it?
Why are you putting a teatowel on my lap?
Why are you all laughing at us?
Why do I feel that I am going to get jelly on my face?
So many questions in so little time.  NOW tell me what are we going to have to do!
By we I mean Amber,Charlotte and Me. When I get my badges I finish eating my jelly. While me and Amber are waiting for hours for Charlotte to finish. Her face was also bright purple from all of the jelly that she had eaten. I get home and I can still feel my sticky face after ages.
I can't wait till November when we get enrolled to become a guide at a big ceremony, eating posh food, going on a big stage. I can just imagine it.
"Errr," mum says, I'm ruining your dream but it won't be that fancy!

Hugo's birthday

Beep beep beep!
My heart pounds as I feel I'm forgetting about something special to do with family.
Bring bring!
I answer the phone. It sounds low so I guess that it is Grandad.
"Hey guess who I talked to this morning."
I think and think and think and think. My brains feels like it is starting to blow up .I just ask who. Who exactly?
HUGO! Don't you remember?
Remember what?
Its Hugo's birthday today.
Oh yeah ... 1st birthday and we forgot!
Can I talk to mum?
Yep sure!
I stumble and race to give mum the phone. I rip up some paper, write something ... nope not good enough . Look I found a cute nursery rhyme book and CD. This is perfect.

Gondalas and luge in Queenstown

Up, up and away as we sit in these gondolas and look down at the humongous hill that we are creeping up.

The hill gets steeper and steeper.
I get worried, thinking in my head that I will be luging down this huge hill. When we get up there I realise that we will be luging down the tip of it.
Because we get out of the gondalas and hop straight onto the chair lift and go to the tippy top of the hill. We get our helmets and up we go. We hop of the chair lift and we go over the bridge and grab a luge, test our brakes and off we go.
We go under the bridge, round 6 corners, through 2 tunnels and then into the hole at the end. It took about 5-6 minutes and it was lots of  fun.

Ice skating in Queenstown

Mum. Wow! Look at this. They fit perfectly. Mum can i have a penguin? No Can I have this then? No. Stop asking for things. OK. My words sound like a stutter.
Ok I'm on ice. Why isn't it cracking? That is probably the whole point of ice skating ... you are skating on ice. Who do you think I will crash into first if i do.
I will start of by going round the rink a couple of times then I will try to go backwards. Well I will figure out how to.
I watch these girls flowing backwards like a swan.
Here comes Hannah prancing round looking like she's trying to be an exsplosive.
Half an hour later.
Mum look! I can do it gracefully now!
Sort of mum mumbles to herself.
Yeah sort of . How do those people do it so gracefully!

On the plane

The noise was increasing on the plane and we got passed disgusting town water. 
I got given a lolly pop and a magazine.
I read it all the way to Queenstown! It took about 2 hours and I also got given a cookie with it.
It was blueberry and it had ginger on it.
I looked out the window and all I could see was big puffy clouds; all snowy and white.
We looked out the windows when we were half way there and we saw the Remarkable Mountains.
There was a little bit of snow on them.

Looking after Hugo

I am learning to use a wide range of vocabulary so it makes my writing more interesting.
When you are reading my writing, you can help me by telling me the words you think are most interesting. Thanks.

Wee ... As I see Hugo's face suddenly start to grin.
He giggles at the end of the bumpy slide.
I go across the steaming hot poles with Hugo in one hand and balancing with the other.
We get to the tunnel and a screech passes my head as Jonty goes down the slide.
Hugo giggles and does a hugoley growl to tell us where he is.
He pokes his head out of the little hole! 
Then he trys to come out but I keep him in so I can get him across. 
I glide him over the tunnel and he crawls out.
I try not to stand in the puddles of dribble.
I sit him on my lap and he is giggling before we even go down.
3 2 1... Weeee... we go down the slide again! 

Flaming shed

Flames are burning and spitting like fire works.
As the colour is making me feel delusional.
It feels like devils are in my eyes. 
The shed is gone in seconds. 
The fire truck is getting hoses pulled out from everywhere. 
We wonder if it was a controlled fire or if it was unexpected. 
But come on! We're in Apiti! Anything could've happened.
The fire is glazing with bright colour. 
We drive past and try not to get spat on or the Ute could go up in flames!
