My Grandparents live in Morrinsvile and they have a pool. It is in the middle of a paddock and it has a electric fence round it. The pool is made of light blue tiles and they are as big as kitchen tiles. It is really deep.

The pool is really cold even though it has heating. I think the pump blew but Randall, my Grandfather, insists it didn’t.

I really suck at swimming so I practiced swimming. I managed to swim a length of freestyle, backstroke and breast stroke.

Abby, Amelia and I (my cousins) were bombing my uncle Brian. I can do the best bomb even though Abby is 11 and Amelia is 10. Finally uncle Brian gave in and ran away.

 After that we played water tag. I was the tagger first so I tricked Abby by going underneath her and I got her so she was the tagger.

Diving is the thing I loath. I always do belly flops . So when I practiced diving I did a lot of belly flops.

I had a lot of fun. After four days we left Morrinsvile. But who knows? It may be the start of another holiday!
