My Friends Birthday!

 My friend's birthday!


On Thursday 14th October My Best friend Josie had a birthday party! We had the birthday at the Blockhouse Bay beach reserve. My dad drove me to the shops and I got her a big box of chocolate, Then we drove to the beach where the party was held. We got there early until a few minutes later we saw my friend! The parking was small and there were not a lot of parking left so it was hard to find one.Then my dad drove away and then we found a spot to put the mat and chairs down to sit at. My friends sister invited her friend too. 


Me and Josie ran down the the playground then we say two swings empty and we swung on it for a while, A few minutes later we ran to the sand near the picnic and then we decided to make a castle with water flowing around it and sand castles in the middle, we started to build and dig until we got to the water part and has to put water around it but it did not work because the water drained in the sand. We thought of putting shells underneath to make the water not drain but it didn't work

Here is a picture of our sand castle >   >    >    >

Eventually we gave up and decided to build a giant hole in the sand. She didn't know how to build one so I told her we had to make a circle and how big we wanted it and then started digging. Then we started digging the middle. We went to get water from the water fountain and dunked it in. It did not work but we dug more and water came out from no where! There was so many water we tried to take it out but it filled our buckets so we had to leave the water in there.

After a long time of digging we had finished!Here is another picture of our hole! >     >     >    

After our hole we were bored so we came to the table and wiped our hands with baby wipes and then sat down. There were chips, carrots and some kind of thick food thingy you can dip your carrots in. 
 
We ate for a while and then we went back to our hole. Josie's sister Rael and her friend Maddison went on a walk near the park further down. Me and Josie decided to go with them!

We walked down and down until we saw then and we came running towards them. When we got down we realised it was muddy and it was very slippery. We walked down further until we split up and looked around. Maddison shouted Me and Josie's name and told us to come here. We saw some kind of dark grey squishy mud thing on a giant sponge! It wasn't a sea sponge just a giant rectangle sponge covered in mud.

We carried on walking then me and Josie went to a rocky area and picked up rocks to see who could throw them the furtherest. Then we kept on walking until Maddison and Rael called our names and shouted us to come. There were little crabs! under rocks! Luckily we brought the blue bucket to put them in. Maddison and Rael grabbed some shells and picked them up to put it in the bucket. 


We decided to go find more crabs then we pushed some rocks and there were lots of them! After about half an hour of searching we found many crabs and decided to go back to the place for Josie's birthday. We got there and cleaned our hands. We sung happy birthday to Josie and she blew out the candle. Then we ate some delicious cupcakes! And has some snacks. We got to play a bit more until my dad came to pick me up. I fed the birds and pigeons chips. I got a goodie bag and then I had to go. The end!

  1. Kia Orana Zara, I'm Nora your sister. I like how you added photos and made paragraphs with every 6/5 sentences! This reminds me of when we go down to the beach and look for shells to collect. Maybe next time you could say what you did with the crabs and how you caught them

  2. Wow! Great detail in your blog post Zara. I know Blockhouse Bay beach and can see you there with the way you have written. It sounds like it was a very happy time just being with your friends (and having some cupcakes!) Crabs are so cool to watch, they are so fast. Did you put them all back and watch them run away? Keep up the excellent mahi.
