A Memorable Moment from the Holidays

On Saturday the 7th of July my family drove up to Tauranga for my Mums Mums 70th birthday. The following Tuesday my family was going to climb Mount Maunganui. We got to the base of the Mountain and looked up. ¨That Mountain is Tall as the Sky Tower¨ I said. We started the track and for the first about 100 metres it was quite easy. But when we got about halfway it was HARD. We carried on for a bit longer and then we had a break and ate some food. We stopped for about half an hour and then we carried on walking Mount Maunganui. With about 500 metres to go we stopped at a bench and looked at the view from Mount Maunganui. We took some photos and then carried on walking. All tired and drenched with sweat we found a track that went to the top like the other track we were walking on but the one we found was quicker! So we went on the quicker track. Me and my brother ran to the top cause we were so excited but the rest of my family just walked.

When we got to the top it was amazing! We waited for the rest of our family and then we took some photos and looked at the view. After that we ate some food and started to head down the mountain to the bottom. ¨ Can me and Cooper jog down to the bottom?¨ I said. ¨Yes¨ said Mum. So we started to jog down to the bottom. We jogged for a bit and then we stopped for a bit to have a rest. About 1 minute later we carried on.

We got to about halfway down and we stopped to see where the rest of our family were. And the rest of our family was out of sight. So we kept on jogging. About half an hour later we were at the bottom. We looked up the hill to try and see the rest of our family but they were still out of sight. So we did some stretches so our muscles do not get sore tomorrow.

About 15 minutes later the rest of our family got to the bottom. After that we went down to the beach. Me and my brother made a sandcastle with a barrier around it. Luckily the barrier worked! We played for about 30 minutes after that. After the beach we went to have some lunch.


That was a Memorable Moment for me.
