How was your first time bowling?

On Thursday after school, my family and I went bowling for my birthday.

When we arrived at the bowling ally, my uncle and I went to the arcade games first and we won lots of tickets. The first game we played was a basketball shooting game. Then my mum called us telling us that it's time to bowl. First we had to put our bowling shoes on. The shoes were just right.

After our shoes were on our feet, we all grabbed a bowling ball quickly and my ball was a red coloured ball. When we walked up to the slippery bowling lanes the boys in the lane beside us kept on getting perfect strikes. The teams were a bit unfair but that did not matter, because I was having so much fun.

The first bowler on my team was my fabulous mum. She got a strike on the first try. Next it was my turn and I did not knock out any pins in my lane because I accidentally threw my ball hard across the room to a different lane. My mum and my funny uncle were the best players out of us all. After a fun time we went back home to rest our body.

That night was the best night I have ever had. I want to try and aim for the pins next time.

I miss my family overseas. Do you have any families overseas?

On the 5th of August my family auntie and I went to Tonga for two unveilngs.

On the plane, I watched a show called Good Luck Charlie. Good Luck Charlie is about a girl named Teddy Dunkin who makes video diaries for her younger sister to watch when she is older. At the end of the video diary, Teddy says her phrase, "Good Luck Charlie".

During Good Luck Charlie I felt a headache. My dad said it was air pressure as we were landing. After we arrived we went out of the airport and we went straight to Longoteme because we had to help with the grave stone 

After the grave stone was organised, I went to meet up with some old toko's. ( Toko means brother in Tongan). I met up with a couple of boys at their school and I played Rugby with them. I scored two tries and seven perfect tackles.

After that day, I asked myself, "Did I do a good job, did I work hard enough." I don't think I did. I will try harder next time and I might take some gum with me next time to help release the air pressure in my head when we are landing.
