Lock-down Birthday

 

      On the 21st of August, I had my lock-down birthday, I turned 11 years old. If we weren't in lock-down we probably would have gone to the Woodstock pub for tea. I woke up at 6:30 and ran into my Mum and Dad's bedroom I woke them up, then I went and woke Luke up. Then it was time to start opening my presents. The first present I opened had a whole heap of lollies and chocolate in it. It had Fruit burst, Fantales, Sour Patch Kids, Hundreds and Thousands chocolate, Caramilk chocolate, Oreos, and Peanut butter cups. Then inside of that box was another box which had a brand new phone inside of it. It was a Samsung A12 and I was stoked. When we got up Dad made pancakes, we had them with banana, strawberries, chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and maple syrup. Once we were done breakfast since it was a bad day I had some games of Fortnite and then had a play on my phone. We had an amazing lunch for lunch we had Nutella sandwiches, marshmallows, licorice, strawberries, grapes, bacon lettuce, and tomato sandwiches, blueberry muffins, and coke and raspberry. After a bit more gaming and playing on my phone it was time for tea. For tea, we had loaded wedges, then we watched a movie called The Expendables 3. When we get out of lock-down I am planning on going on a birthday party hunt with a few of my friends and having a cake. 

 

Morning hunt

 

Since the South Island has gone down to level 3 lockdown you are allowed to go hunting around your home area. On Wednesday morning my Dad and I got up at 4:30am to go out for a hunt in our local area. Since it was the first day of whitebaiting season we were hoping there would be no one in there. When we got up my Dad and I had toast for breaky and made milo and coffee for the drive-in. When we got there it was a bit foggy but still a nice morning, we got out of the truck put our jackets on, and started walking. We were hunting for deer and there was a lot of sign around (footprints and droppings). We snuck our way up all the way to the top end of the valley it was a 5 km walk up so we stopped there for a bit. When we were heading back Dad said if we see a goose I could shoot it because it was getting too light for deer. I had never shot a goose and I really hoped we would see some. We were walking along the river and we saw about five geese floating down. Dad got me set up and I shot one just as they floated past. Dad ran out into the river and grabbed it, the water was up to his waist and when he got out he was soaked. Dad quickly shot another one, he got that then we went back to the truck. Once we got home we hung them in the shed for a bit then we plucked them and cut them up so we could cook them up for tea sometime soon. Have you ever shot a gun or a bow?

Pizza

      

A couple of days ago my family made Pizza. First, we got the dough and cut it into 4 pieces because we needed 4 pizzas, one for each of us. After that, we rolled my piece of dough out on a tray. Then we put tomato paste on it and I got to decorating. At the end of it, my pizza had all sorts of meat on it. It had chicken, venison, salami, ham, and bacon. Once I had done all the meat I put on some cheese and then put on barbecue sauce. Once the pizza was done we put it in the oven for a while, then once all the pizzas were done we ate them together.
