Duck Shooting

Duck shooting.

May 2nd, Me, Angus, Mum, Dad and Maggie went into the country near a lake. It took three and a half hours to get to the house we were going to stay in. When I got out of the car  I said , “ I’m glad that’s over with.”

When I saw  Josh, Willy and  Greta I said, “Hi.”  I asked Josh and Willy If  they wanted to play  soccer  and of course they said, “Yes.”  It was me and Willy verses Josh and Angus.

 I started the game with a little dribble and then Angus came near me so I kicked the ball onto the other side of the hallway. I went round Angus and scored a goal. It was 8-0  me and Willie  won.  After an  exciting  game we had sausage's and bread  for tea. 

At    5 am. the men where getting their stuff ready to go to the lake for duck shooting. 

At 6.50am we heard a gun shot . We woke up. We got dressed. Willie got dressed into his rugby gear. (He plays for Foxton.) Willie played at Carterton that morning and he got three tries. His team lost twenty, ten. Willie was disappointed that he lost.

On our way home we chatted about the rugby game. When we got back we had strawberries.

 After our morning tea we did some scooter races. Johno was there. He went on the bike and Gretta went on a scooter. They have six scooters. Johno came over because I know him and his Mum is my Mum’s friend. We got on the starting grid. I said, “Ready, steady. GO.”  We were off .Willie was in front, Josh was second, I was third, Angus fourth, Gretta came fifth and Johno came sixth. Next race I came second.

Before long we had to feed the horse. We fed it two apples. I didn’t want to feed the horse because I was afraid it might bite me. After tea time we watched  Star Wars the Glow Wars.

When the dads got back they had shot fifteen ducks. Then it was bedtime.

In the morning we went to the shed where the dads were. They plucked the ducks with a sharp knife. Once they plucked the ducks it was time for us to leave.    

It was an awesome weekend.
