In the afternoon we went to visit my grandma and the only present I got is the money. On Friday we went to the airport with my mum and Noah to film some videos of some planes landing and taking off in time-lapse mode on my phone and I got my tripod with me to film them on the fence. On Monday we took Noah to skating with his career with my mum and we went to my Auntie's house to see her dog for a few hours. On Wednesday afternoon we went to Whangarei with Jordyn and Noah to stay with her grandparents for 4 nights. On Thursday morning we went to the farm to see a new dog called Zeus and we went out again to the pond. On Friday Afternoon we went to the town basin to walk with the dogs and I walked with TJ. After the town basin we walked to Farmers to find the new Cars 3 cars which came very early before they will bring them in early May this year and I bought them all. I was the first person to buy these cars. On Saturday We went to the movies to see Beauty And The Beast and I saw the new Cars 3 trailer at the movies before the movie starts. On Sunday we went back home from Whangarei and my mum was very surprised to see my new cars in my big bag. I opened all the new cars up and I was so happy with them.<br />

On Saturday afternoon my mum and I went to Mechanics Bay to see the helicopters and I saw a Westpac rescue helicopter flying over the city carrying an injured person to the hospital. I did some footage of the helicopters landing and taking off on my phone and my mum drop me to Special Olympics to do some sports. That night I had some steak, potatoes, and some vegetables for dinner and it looks yummy. On Sunday morning we went to bowling with my mum and Noah and my best score is 106. We've been to the Botany Town Centre to look for something new at the shops but there's nothing new in here and I had Oporto for lunch after looking at some shops. After lunch we went to another Farmers store at The Pakaranga Shopping Centre for a last stop and we found 7 brand new cars for 2017 so I was very happy with them. Then we had some wraps for dinner and I did some guitar practice for my lesson tomorrow. On Monday I did take some pictures of the big Christmas tree that my dad had supposed to put down in January.<br />

On Tuesday we went to base school at Tamaki for SPEC prizegiving and we sat down to watch the other students get their SPEC certificates from different classes. Then it's Edgewater 3's turn and Diane Bradley has got his cup for his work experience and she gave the students their SPEC certificates for their hard work. We helped my class to bring the SPEC books upstairs and put them in the book room. Then we went down the stairs and we went back on the van to go back to school for lunch.</blockquote>

We go on board the plane to Los Angeles and I watched some movies on the plane on the way. We got some bags to take away to the hotel and I went on a shuttle to Anahiem. We walked around the shopping centre and I saw some Star Wars stuff in the shops. The next morning went to Walgreens supermarket and I found 2 new candy minis from wave 1 2017 and they are only available in America. We had a long walk to Disneyland and we go there for 3 days. We meet some of the characters like Mickey Mouse Goofy, Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, Minnie Mouse, Woody and many more. We went on lots of different rides like Star Wars, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Indiana Jones, It's a small world, Cars Land rides and many more. I found some of the things like a Star Wars badge, a Cars necklace, and 6 new cars from Disney Park Stores. On Tuesday we went to Universal Studios for a day and we meet some of the characters like The Simpsons, Transformers, Dora The Explorer, Spongebob, Minions and many more. We go on some rides and my favourite rides are Harry Potter, The Simpsons, and Jurrasic Park. We had a tour on a vehicle and the man tells the people about how the movies have been made and we watched the animal actors show. On Wednesday we went shopping and I found 3 new Trackmaster engines, 3 new 7 packs of minis, and the last bag of wave 1 from the 2017 series. We walked all the way back to the hotel and I had a swim and on the spa pool. That night we found more things like 5 new 3 packs of minis and a blind bag for 2017 wave 2 and this is I found at Target and Walmart. After that we had In and Out Burger for dinner and on Thursday we went back to the airport to take the bags back to Auckland. We went to Santa Monica beach on a nice sunny day and we saw a nice view of the blue water and the sand and I also saw a helicopter hovering over the beach then buzzed away. Then we went to another shopping centre to have a look around at the shops and we had some lunch before we look more shops. Then we had a last stop at Target and I found a carry case that it holds over 50 minis and a Trackmaster Talking Diesel before we go back to the airport. We had some KFC for dinner before we go back to Auckland and my mum and dad missed me. At home I showed my mum some of the new things I have got and I opened them all and played them.<br />

The dental nurse gave me the Air New Zealand sunglasses and we walked to the X-ray room to get some pictures of my teeth before we walked back to the dental room. The dental nurse scraped and brushed my teeth to get rid of some bits of food out of my mouth and then I got out of the chair and my teeth looked nice and clean. After that we went back to class to have some lunch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679305047236588790.post-88929469110746739372017-08-11T10:03:00.001+12:002017-08-11T10:03:50.213+12:00Richie Patterson<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

After morning tea we went to the hall from 3 classrooms and we sat down on the chairs to listen to Richie. First we watched the video of the Rio Olympic Games 2016 and Richie talked about weightlifting. When he first started weightlifting he was trying to lift this weight up but he was too scared to do it and he came 4th place. In 2014 he had to do the 3rd attempt for the weightlifting and he did lift up high because he was so brave. At the end I gave Richie a pen for the iPad and I spoke really clearly.</span></div>

That night we had Lone Star for dinner with my dad and Noah and on Monday-Sunday I got sick for 7 days and I'm not going anywhere.<br />
<br />
On Monday afternoon we went to Whangarei with Jordyn and Noah and we went to the farm for 3 nights and I saw some puppies which are very cute and a very cool Christmas train set that Roger made.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday we went to the movies with Jassie to see Diary Of a Whimpy Kid The Long Haul and we went to Countdown on the way back to the farm and I found 2 new Cars 3 diecasts that I saw them from the display. After that I saw Roger putting some more buildings and trees on the Christmas train set and it looked great.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday we went to the town basin to take some dogs for a walk and we went another Countdown store and I found 4 more new cars that I saw them on the display and I also found the James Launcher and I was very happy with it. On the way back to the farm we had McDonald's for a snack and I had some chips before we had some dinner.<br />
<br />
On Thursday we went to Nan and Pa's house for a while and we went to bowling with Paul and I played well. That night we had a family dinner and I had a beef burger and some chips and it was yummy.<br />
<br />
On Friday we went back home to see my mum and dad and when I go inside the power came off because a car had crashed into a pole and that was not good.<br />
We went to Wok n Noodle to have some dinner and as I was about to read the book I had the big seizure which is not good until my mum phoned the ambulance and I get on the ambulance to have checkups.<br />
<br />
On Saturday morning we went to bowling with my mum and there was going to be the competition so I have to win the trophy.<br />
<br />
On Sunday we went to Botany to go shopping with my mum and Noah and I haven't found something new today. <br />
