My sundae ice-cream was really cold!

On Saturday the 27th of August, my mum and I went shopping at the Warehouse in Sylvia Park. It took us an hour to get there because there was traffic on the road.

As soon as we arrived, we went straight to the Warehouse to get a pair of shoes for me for my birthday party on Wednesday. I got some puma shoes because it was my favourite icon. We also bought some new clothes for me. They were very colourful and interesting.

After that, we went to the counter to pay for my shoes and my clothes. Once my items were scanned, they were put into a plastic bag. I was so excited because I had new clothes and shoes for my birthday party. Then I went and said to my mum, "Thank you for my clothes and shoes."

Soon after that, we went to buy some ice-cream from Mcdonald's. I had a ice-cream sundae. An ice-cream sundae is ice-cream that is put into a plastic cup and it can have vanilla or chocolate syrup on the top. It was delicious and cold. My mum had vanilla ice-cream on a cone with a chocolate flake on the top.

Eventually, we went home because I was exhausted and we had finished all the shopping that we needed to do for my birthday.

My favourite part was when my mum and I had ice-cream because it was sweet and just what I needed to end a wonderful afternoon.

I like playing 'go home, stay home, with my siblings!

On Saturday the 13th August 2016, my family and I went to my aunt's birthday party. It took us an hour and 20 minutes to get there. We celebrated her birthday in a hall and it was a cloudy day.

After we arrived inside the hall, we went to go and sit in front of the table. We stood up when the birthday girl arrived. My auntie was turning 21. After she came and sat down on her chair we all sat down on our chairs as well. After that, my uncle said a prayer for my auntie and a food prayer for all of us. We all put our hands together and closed our eyes for the prayers. When the two prayers finished we went to line up in the line for the food. I saw my two best friends and I was so excited. I got myself some food. I got some egg salad, beef and a cup of fanta. The egg salad was delicious and cold and the beef was chewy.

We wanted to have some ice cream, however the line was long so we decided to play a game called go home stay home while we were waiting. I was in first and I counted to ten while my two brothers and sister went to go and hide somewhere. After that, I found my little brother and my sister, but they stuck together and went around the building and tagged on the wall before I was able to tag them.  I had fun and enjoyed playing stay home, go home.

Later on, we went to go and wait for the ice-cream again. I got vanilla, chocolate and a jelly. My little brother just got strawberry and vanilla. When I eat my ice cream, it was cold and the jelly was smooth and wobbly.

Finally we all went home because the party had ended and we all felt tired.

My favourite part of the day was when I played go home stay home because it is fun to play with my siblings.
