Zoe's Birthday Party

Yesterday was the best day ever!
It was my best friend's birthday party, she turned 12.
When we all got there we all jumped into the pool and had a pool party. My favourite part was throwing water balloons at my best friends :)
Here are a few pics to show you what we did.

My Story Competition...

It was the summer of  1931 and the Raymond family, (a family with only 4 members…. Kelly - Mum, Justin - Dad, Skylar - 6 year old daughter and last but not least Ralph - The family dog,)  had just moved into their flash new 3 story home in Napier, they just settled down and just finished unpacking when the family decided to go for a walk with Ralph in the park.

The park was very still, Kelly set out the picnic blanket and Justin, Skylar and Ralph went to go play on the playground, after playing in the blazing sun they decided to come and have a drink.

As Justin was drinking he noticed that the sun was kind of hiding behind the clouds but took no notice to it, about an hour later it randomly started to rain and thunder and lightning appeared the Raymonds decided to pack up and go home.

Once they got home it was late, dark and very noisy, So Kelly and Justin put young Skylar in bed and did the same thing themselves.

By the time Kelly and Justin go to bed, it was exactly 12:47, and Kelly and Raymond woke up to the sound of their daughters voice saying “Mummy, Daddy, i’m scared, I don’t like the new house, it keeps shaking!?!?”

Kelly and Justin just looked at each other stunned and then took Skylar back to bed. The whole family was sound asleep for about two hours, then suddenly the whole family awoke, Ralph was running around like a chicken without a head and barking like crazy. Justin ran down the stairs and and tied Ralph to the bathroom door.

After a few hours of sleep Skylar woke up and decided to go for a little walk down the stairs. When she reached the bottom of the staircase and untied Ralph from the bathroom door, Ralph headed straight for the back door, he jumped up on the door, so Little Skylar opened the door (even though the weather was horrible) and Rapled took a leap outside and took off, Then suddenly a petrifying earthquake hit the city of Napier D:

The shaking woke Kelly woke, she hid under her $567 dresser, other than kelly, Justin just hid under the blankets(like thats going to help.) and completely forgot about their 6 year old daughter. Once This magnitude 7.8 earthquake was done destroying the city, Kelly and Justin just remembered about their daughter, they sprinted down staircase, by the time they got there it was too late, Skylar was trapped under the shower door, where she untied Ralph.

Skylar looked unconscious, Kelly dropped to the floor as there was another aftershock, after a few mins of shaking, the shower door had moved and Justin was able to pick up Skylar, the family raced to the car and drove to the hospital, it was almost im possible to get there, there were people lying on the sidewalk with terrified faces, everyones homes were in pieces, it looked like a broken heart.

Just before they reached the hospital they saw an old lady stuck under her falling roof of her house, Kelly quickly jumped out of the car and gave her a helping hand. She got free.

Still on the way to the hospital, Justin resized that if the whole city was broken then so would the hospital, she they changed direction and went “home.” They arrived home, they were just able to walk through the front door and see the remains of their house. With every earthquake you get after shocks, these aftershocks were petrifying, with every shock the city would sprint to under a table.

And this is how the city of Napier lived (in fear) for a few years until the after shocks were gone!

Pool party
