My Holiday!!

1.2.2012

So today it was raining!! Waaa L So we all just sat around trying to figure out what we should do. So finally around 11 we decided that we were all hungry so we were gonna go get breakfast! We went down to one of the resorts right on the beach and had breakfast or I guess you could say brunch! By the time we were done with that it had sorda stopped raining. So we went to look at the beaches and see how they were. The beaches had massive high tide and HUGE waves. Come to find out there was a cyclone up north a bit and so it was making the water pretty rough. So we went into town and went shopping for awhile just cause we had nothing else todo..we though maybe we could find a new game to play but we never found one. After awhile me and Alyce went up to a look out…it was really cool but it would have been a lot prettier if it was a clear day.

After that we went home and played more cards and just hung out. Alyce’s Nan..is 87 years old and is sooo funny. She asked the same question about a million times even though she knows the answer. I usually was the one to answer her because everyone just kinda ignored her after the first couple times. Or they would tell her crazy things. Like she asked us where we went? So we said It was raining so we just went to the shops. Then like 3 min later she asked us where we went? So we told her the shops. Then 2 min later she would ask where we went? So then someone would say “We went to the beach!” Then she would look at you and be like, “Oh no…its to cold for that…your mom said you were at the shops!” Lol it was so funny but every convo ended that way.

The next day it was perfect and sunny again!! YAY So we went down to the beach and Paris and Sienna and Tong met up with us. The beaches still had pretty high tide but the waves were huge and sooo fun to play in! So we stayed there pretty much all day. Everyone was laughing at my dorky sunburn! L

Can you see the hand print? On the left.　

　

Then we just went home, and I suggested we play dictionary tonight then the usual card game. And everyone thought it was a good idea. So we did boys against girls!! It was fun, my team won..of course! LOL

Thursday it was sunny but super super windy. Probably had todo with the cyclone but it was a bit too windy to go to the beach right away. So instead we went to a couple of the Op-shops in town. (Goodwill’s) Everyone found quite a bit of stuff. I got the cutest little hippo picture frame. After that the wind had died down a bit so we went to the beach!

The water was super clear. Perfect for taking underwater pictures!! BUT my underwater camera died! L Thank goodness Bry had one and we got some awesome shots. I will have to upload the pictures when I get them from her.

Then we went home…and had dinner…and played cards. Lol It was so funny the girls dad (Craig) has been loosing a bunch of weight and is obessed with his juicer and every morning he would make juice for everyone and it was always the joke how it made you poo right away sooo everyone was farting up a storm the whole 2 weeks and then blowing up the toilet…and there was just one for all of us sooo it was the constant joke. And everyone called everyone Fluffheads!! Lol

Friday, I got up super early don’t know why? But since everyone else was asleep I went out on the porch and called Mom and Dad. Talked to them for a bit and had an argument how the town is Forster but you pronounce it Foster. They didn’t believe me even though they weren’t even down here. But anyway once everyone was up and Nan asked us a million times what we were doing we were finally off to the beach. We met up with Sienna and Paris and Tong and Matt. So we were there for a few hours but then it started get a bit overcast and then the clouds got really dark..so we decided to pack up and walked around down town..and got a coffee. In one of the shops I found my awesome glasses for only 5 dolla!! Everyone said they were sooo me! Lol

　

By this time it was getting later and we had dinner reservations at Hog Breaths café. So we all went home to take a shower and change! Dinner was lots of fun. Alyce brought the cards so we played cards. Can you say obssed lol anyway it was fun I was being loud, and we were all laughing and stuff then after awhile Alyce says to me..”I used to think that I was loud…until I met you” it just made me laugh..people under estimate my loudness until we are in public lol usually its just my laugh though!! Lol

So we had dinner then me and Rach got this huge brownie..ice cream..marshmallow thing. It was yummy! It was still pretty early and it was super nice weather out so we thought it would be fun to go down to the beach. So we went and hung out for awhile.

On our way to dinner!

After that we went home. Rach wanted to pull an all nighter..which I was totally up for. Then we were all gonna go to the big sand dune and watch the sun rise. So me, Rach, Bry and Luka all stayed up and were watching movies…about 15 min into it Luka was out……we were watching Sleepover…its such cheese. Then we started watching another movie and by this time it was about 1:30...half an hour intp that one, Bry was out. Another hour Rach was out. So there I lay all by myself not tired..watching movies. We had to get up by 5 and dive into town because sunrise was at 5:35. So around 4:55 I was all trying to wake everyone up…and at the point I didn’t think I would have much luck..everyone was out and even when I nudged them they just seemed annoyed and didn’t get up. Finally Luka got up and plugged Rach’s nose or something and she was awake!! Really mad at him..but she was awake!! So we drove to town and we were meeting Tong and Sienna up at the dune. We got there just in time! It was very pretty! At one point it looked like something out of a Watchtower.

Waiting for the sun!

After that we went to Maccas and got coffee and brekky. I was still doing good.The no sleeping thing doesn’t faze me at all. Then we went home and waited for everyone else to get up.

Saturday was new years eve and we had plans to meet up with everyone. So fist we met up with Paris, Sienna, Ryan, Tong, Matt at the beach..was there for about an hour or soo. Then Paris had to go to work. Sienna and Ryan had already eaten..so they stayed on the beach but the rest of us went ot eat at the hotel seriously just right across the road from where we were laying on the beach. The food was EHH…nothing exciting. But it was funny because we were sitting outside and we were all yelling and talking to Ryan and Sienna still. Then after lunch we decided to go to the beach on the other side of town…that had a huge sand doon. Bry went down it first. Then I had to go. We were riding down it on boogie boards. So I ran and jumped on…laying on my belly…not thinking about it I was yelling WEEEE…all the way down. While sand was flying into my mouth. Lets just say I was crunching sand for the next couple hours. Yucky. Nobody else really did it…eventually Matt, Simon, Alyce and I went into the water but it was pretty rough and yucky, with seaweed and stuff. So we were only in for a bit. As it got later we went home again to get ready for that night…we were meeting up with a bunch of Forster people and eating pizza on the bridge and watching the fireworks…that were at 9:30...lame. So on our way into town I asked Alyce to stop at Maccas just sooo I could get something to eat..obviously because I don’t like Pizza. So we met up…lets just say Forster has some pretty interesting people. So we got the pizza…went on the bridge…watched the fireworks.

Everyone else waiting!

Then they had a teeny tiny little carnival thing soo we went to go check it out.

There was seriously like 5 rides lol but they were fun ones. Everyone kept handing me tokens for the bumper cars and then we went on a big twisty one. Which was super super fun!

　

Then before we left I HAD to get some Fairy Floss!!

Fairy Floss aka Cotton Candy!

　

After that we had nothing todo and everything was shut so we went home. On our way home was when it actually turned midnight!! It was soo weird…I was in 2012 before any of my friends backs home…weird!!

The next day we just went straight to the beach and was there pretty much all day! Matt came out..and hung out with us but I don’t know what everyone else was doing. That night everyone was getting together again and we were gonna have a bonfire on the beach. So I said lets make some s’mores!! All I got was blank stares…then they asked..what are s’mores?? I was shocked..come on how do you not know what a s’more is!! Lol So I had to explain it to them..”You know you have a gram cracker and roasted marshmallow with chocolate” Then they asked, what gram crackers were…uggghh how do you explain that. Its harder then you think. They still arnt to sure what it is. So on our way to the store to get the stuff, I called mom and asked her what an equivalent to a gram cracker would be….all she could come up with was a shortbread biscuit. So we got some. That night the whole family went to the tiny little bowling club, and got dinner it was funny/weird! Lol After that we headed to the beach and once everyone was there I told them I was gonna make them some s’more and one of the guys says..“Oh cool I have heard of those on movies” So I was making them….but there marshmallows down here are just weird too. So I mean it worked out ok but its totally not the same. Nobody really seemed that impressed! Lol oh well must be an American thing. We stayed there pretty late….everyone was boring and they could tel I was getting antsy soo I made them all play some dumb games..everyone seemed to have fun though!!

Monday, Alyce and me left pretty early and we were meeting up with Matt and we were going to spend the day with his family..up where they were camping! It was about an hour outside of Forster. It was a pretty drive. It looked a lot like back home…very flat with hills/mountains in the background. When we got there everyone was super nice. And it wasn’t just his family it was all his extended family and then his bro-in laws family and then people from the cong. There was a lot of people. So when we got there we all talked for a bit, then headed down to the beach. The water was pretty rough..but we got in anyway. It was fun for awhile and then the sea lice started attacking. (not the same as lice..lice) You just feel little stings all over your body, but you cant really see them. Super annoying and makes you really itchy! So we got out…layed around on the beach..I like his family they totally pig out when they are at the beach. We had chips..we had cookies….we have lollies!! I ♥ it! My kinda day at the beach. Everyone headed back to camp and we were gonna have a late lunch. When I got back to camp I noticed something way up on the self….a huge tub of Redvine from Costco. So I went over and asked it I could have some. His mom seemed kinda shocked…and she said, “If you like em you can have the whole thing…everyone here hates them. They have been spitting them out over there” She pointed and I looked and it ws a pile of half chewed redvine lol I was soooo excited…there was a half full bucket of Redvine all for me!! I was soo happy! I was just sitting there eating and everyone that came by was all “You like those? Weird!!” A few people had to try them again to see if they were as gross as they remembered. And they all still didn’t like them lol that’s fine weirdos…more for me!! :D

They made a huge full on bbq’d chicken and corn and salad and other stuff just for lunch but it was good. We started a game of 500...big surprise lol It was funny because some of the kids were all asking me weird questions about the US and thought it was sooo cool or the way we say some things. Matt’s bro-in law was one of the funniest people I think I have ever met…and hes a triplet…and they were all there with their families. Funniest bunch of guys!! So we stayed for awhile and then they got a fire started and then it was like 20 questions to Alyse because her and Matt have their thing goin on lol they both were sooo embarrassed but I thought it was soo funny! Then we headed home.

Its been an awesome week!
