Yesterday Nina got her calf.
She was a big calf with bright white and black spots. She has a necklace with her name on the piece of string and her name was Molly. Otherwise Nina could have chosen Doris but she thought Molly was nicer. When we got Molly she was 4 days old that means that they can be taken of their mother. Mostly dairy farmers do that because when you have beef cows you do not have to take the calf off their mothers.

7th September 2006

On Sunday after lunch we rode our horses and ponies because we had to go mustering.
First, what we had to do was to get them in and brush them and pick out there hooves. We had to do that because if they had a stone in their foot it would be really, really sore. That would be really, really bad. Next we had to get the saddle blanket and saddle and put it on their back. Then we tightened the girth.
By the time we had got on, mum was ready to go is well so we went mustering.

If i could do anything in the holidays it would be...

In the holidays if I could do one thing that was really, really cool and I did not do it these holidays, it would be…
Going to see our cousins in Australia because I only get to see then only once every couple of years. When I get there the whole family would be there to greet me. We would get my bags and then get into the car and then go to the swimming pools to get refreshed. We would stay there for about one hour. Once everybody had been refreshed we got changed back into our clothes and then got back into the car and then go back to there house for lunch because I was starved because I had nothing on the plane and only just a little pie before I left the new Plymouth airport.
When we got to there house they told me where to sleep and where the toilet was and all of that stuff and then we went to see the horses because I love horses and there whole family loves horses to. (by the way Uncle Duncan is a really, really good horse rider).
When we got there I saw the horses and even got to ride one. It was fun at the start but then when I wanted it to canter after a while it must have either got scared or excited and it bucked me of. ): and then they told me that the horse that bucked me off was the one that had not been ridden for a while and I did really well.
After that we went back home again and put some ice on my forehead because it was really sore when I had fallen off.
When my head got better we went to the swimming pools again because we all really wanted another swim. When we got to the pools we went on to the slides first and then we did lots of jumping in and diving and then we played just in the pool. We played tag and stuck in the pool! When we got board of those games we went to play in the waves and then we went to the spa because the pools place had every thing you could dream of when it came to water! (Even there was a current and a real strong one to.)
Once we got out of the pool and we got all dry and got out of our togs and into our clothes and then got back in to the car and went to Sydney. when we got to Sydney we first went to movie world and then we went to sea world and then we went to lots of other places that I can not remember.
It was about 5.00 when we got back home so when we got home we had fish and chips and then we watched a movie and then we had dessert and then we went to be. When I got into bed it was really comfy so I fell asleep real easy.
In the morning we got up at about 10.00 and we went to a horse trek. And I went on the horse that bucked me off yesterday. It was a one day trek so we only rode and stopped at this little spring and since we had to bring our own lunch we had lunch there and when we had finished we got back on our horses again and carried on with the trek. when we got home it was 7.00 and we went to a flash place for dinner and it was really nice. When we got home we went to bed we were all really tired.
In the morning we went to the air port to go and get Nina because she had just been to our half brother’s place. (I can not remember where he lives but it is a long way away from our house!)
When we got to the air port Nina was waiting for us for about 5min because the plane left a bit earlier then it was spouse to. Since Nina was tired she was a bit grumpy but she was happy to see our aunty and Uncle and our cousins. But she was especially happy to see me. (Well that was what I thought but I do not think she thought that.) Once we had picked up her bags we put them into the car and went home because Nina especially was waiting for riding and looking at the horses (of course!).
When we had got home we went straight to the horses but I had to wait until I had packed my bags because I was going to our half brother’s house the next day while Nina stayed at our cousins.
When I had got packed I went to the horses just in time to see Nina get bucked of the same horse that got me off! She was a bit disappointed that she got bucked off because when I had got there I pretended to say that when that horse tried to buck me of I stayed on.
The next day when I went to the airport the plane was cancelled so Nina and I just went home but she was a bit angry but missed her parents. So when Nina had stopped complaining we got on the plane and went home.
