I had so much fun playing with my cousins!

On Saturday my cousins and I went outside to play. Taniela said to us, "Should we play touch?". My cousins and I told him," no!" because we might get hurt from the pole. Launoa said, "We play netball because Soane needs to practice his chest passing.My cousin Taniela divided us into our team of two. I was in Tanielas team with Johnny, Folau was with Soane and Launoa. The game started. We were running from side to side so that we could catch the ball.

After that we stopped and Taniela said, "Let's practiced our chest passing". So we practiced again and again untill we knew how to chest pass. Then we started to play netball when we were playing Soane marked me so I couldn't go to the front or to the sides, I was stuck so Folau had the ball and he trying to get the ball into the red fruit container but he couldn't because when he threw it inside, Taniela caught it. Then I became free so I ran to the other side to get the  ball off Taniela. He chest pass it to me so I caught it and threw it into the small house.

We felt tired so we took a break. Later on, I asked Taniela if we could please play soccer so he said to me, "Yes, "We were in one team. I kicked the ball so my team and I walked to the front and did our trick so Soane kick the ball and Launoa tried to kick the ball back to us but she couldn't because Taniela was too strong. Folaus team had 10 point but my team started to catch up with them. In the end, mt team got 36 points and Folaus team lost.

Later I went and sat down because I was tired. I told Taniela that I was going to take a brake so I just watched them playing. It was getting dark so we decided to go inside the house.

Finally I went to have a shower then had dinner. After dinner I was played with my mum's tablet. I was playing farm hero and I had to collect all the eggs the fruit and the vegetables. I tried to collect all of it but I couldn't because my mum only saved me 1 life to play so I died on the game. Then I played candy crush and I won. I was happy because if I lose then the life is finished  so I went to my room to sleep.

I can't believe that Sacred Heart won the game!

Very early on Saturday morning, my cousin Taniela woke me up at 6:0'clock so I could go with him to his rugby game. On the way to the game, Taniela asked my mum if we can pick his friend up because he does not have a ride and he's in the same rugby game anyway. His mum agreed. After we picked up Taniela's friend, we proceeded to look for the venue of the rugby game. We drove around for a while but we had trouble finding the venue so my mum pulled the car over to the side and told us to wait in the car because she was going to ask for direction from the lady at the shop. The lady explained to my mum that to go to Royal Oak intermediate school we had to go straight then turn right and we will see the school.

We finally got there and we all got out of the car as fast as we can. Taniela and his friend, Silva quickly put on their rugby shoes because their game was starting soon. Then Taniela said to me, " You can play with my iPad but look after it". I excitedly played with the iPad but my mum told me to come and help her grab the chairs from the boot of the car. We also brought out the bag of food for our lunch. My mum said, " Let's find a shady spot to sit and watch the game". We found a perfect spot under the tree on the side of the field.

Once we were settled, I started playing on Tanielas iPad again. I played G.T.A ., a game that you had to kill the bad members of the gang and finish the mission. Unfortunately, I got killed in the game because my team didn't come to help me kill the enemies. Next, I was played a game called Racing Cars. It was about racing with other cars that if you come first, you win. The number of car was 5 and I was at the back and when the light turned green, the race started and I tried my best to get to the front of the race but I couldn't because they were blocking my way. Then on the side of the screen, I saw a boost button so I pressed it and it made my driving so fast that I immediately got to the front of the race. Not before long, I reached the finish line. I won, I won!!!

After winning that game, I decided to watch Taniela play rugby. He belongs to the Sacred Heart Boys Rugby Team.They were tackling and then Taniela's team got a goal. During the next hour, they kept on getting a goal and at the end of the rugby game, Taniela's team won. They shook hands with the other team. Then, mum and I went and took photos of the Sacred Heart Boys Rugby Team.

When the game was over, my mum said, " Let's go home". But Taniela asked my mum if he and his friend can sit on the chair under the tree to rest for a while because they were tired from the game. My mum said, ''okay". After a while, Taniela and Silva hopped in the car then my mum said to us, '' Do you want K.F.C?" We all said, "Yes please!" So we went to K.F.C and bought chicken, chips and burgers. They were very tasty and delicious! Next my mum told us that she was going to have a coffee and a frozen blueberry. I told her that I also wanted a frozen blueberry. Taniela and Silva said, ''No, thank you".

From KFC, we went to drop off Taniela's friend Silva at his house then we went home. I was very tired so I went to sleep.
