Gregory’s Blog

Hi again,

On the weekend me and my family went to a place near Katikati called Sapphire Springs for a family Christmas. It’s a sort of camping ground but we stayed in cabins. We arrived at 8:00pm on Friday. On Saturday my cousin Kendall, my sister Sophie and I had a game of mini golf and went to the hot pools in the morning before Kendall and I played cricket with a tennis ball on the grass. It was great weather to be outside. In the evening the family got together for a barbecue and a swim. We had great fun diving and bombing in the pool as well as playing a game of water polo. We went back to the cabins and collected our stuff for the $2 present game and the fun talent quest. In the talent quest I played two songs on the trumpet, one was the Jingle Bell Rock. In the two dollar present game I ended up with a king sized chocolate bar that I shared with my cousin. I got some presents from my family who live in Auckland before everyone left. On Sunday I woke up at half past eight to have a swim before having to leave. It was nice and refreshing. I had a great time at Sapphire Springs and I would like to go back again soon.

Bye for now, Gregory.
