Holiday Writing

My Holiday

On Saturday the 10th of October me, my sister and my mum went out and played Mini golf. We played on a different day as well and I didn't do so well, but this time I wanted to beat my mum because she beat me and my sister and I ended up in second place last time. So on the first round I had a few six’s but there were 18 holes to get though and the scores that you get are from 1 - 6 and the lowest score wins, but I did do a little bit better on the second round to and I did get a hole in one. But mum still beat us and this time I came last place which wasn’t that bad, but to me it was pretty bad. So when we stopped I was a bit annoyed with my mum at first, but then I got over it pretty quickly.

After Mini golf golf, we went to the warehouse and bought some movies. We couldn’t decide on which movies to get, but all I know is that we got the movie HOME and mum got something for herself that we can’t watch. Also we are hoping to can get the movie Inside Out on DVD as well. So we choose the movies that we all decided on and we got some other thing to, like cat toys for my cat and a Kinder surprise egg for a treat. Then when got all the stuff we needed we went and paid for all of it then we left, and when I look at my Kinder surprise egg I got a car toy that was inside.

After that we went to pack n save and got lots of groceries, we got fruits, vegetables, and other bits and pieces. I was looking at everything that was there and I saw lots of stuff that I wanted to get, but I know I can’t have everything because everything cost money. But I got some things that I wanted, and mum got some things for school and things for dinner to. Plus mum said that my and my sister could choose an ice cream to have, me and my sister choose pretty fast. Then when we were done with the shopping, we paid for all of it bit by bit and then we all went home again.
