Fence

Mum is tying lots of long manuka sticks together, to make fences for her garden. We are tying them to the outside of her garden to make her garden more sheltered from the wind. Yesterday, we went to get some sticks for her garden. We probably got enough to finish the whole garden yesterday.
On the way back, we went skating on our bottoms in the mud. We had an excellent time sliding down the hill, in the mud! When we got back, Summer and I were absolutely DRENCHED with water. By the time we got back to the house, I was pooped.

Kayaking

Hi! Yesterday, I went kayaking. I took my fishing rod too, just in case I saw some fish. I went over to the other side of the bay where the kahawai usualy are. I didn't see any fish, but just as I was going to cast my line out, a seal came and started eating all of the fish! I waited until the seal went away, because if I caught a fish, the seal might have stolen it.
I saw the seal swim off at a leisurely pace. A few seconds later, it shot off, zig-zagging across the bay. It's speed was amazing! A Kahawai would have had NO CHANCE of surviving an attack like that, unless of couse, it swam into a school of other kahawai. The seal would then be utterly confused and would lose it's prey.
ANYWAY, after the seal had gone away, I cast my line out, and guess what I caught? NOTHING! The fish were probably too worried about being eaten than eating.

Grappeling Hook

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days ago, I made a big Grappeling hook out of wire. It is good, because it can hook thing really easily.the width is about 10cm, and the height is about 15cm.

Magnets

Hi! I have got two big magnets that are about this long:
[-------------------------]
When you throw them both in the air at the same time in such a way that they hit each other they make REALLY cool sound! It sounds a bit like if you pull a polarfleece jumper off your head it makes noise from the static electricity, but louder.
My magnets are really powerful and can pick up lots of things. My magnets can also stick together THROUGH my fingers! They are not quite stong enough to go through my hand, but it is close.

Sailing

Its been AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and
AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES and AGES since we last went sailing. I REALLY want to go sailing, but Its just too windy or too little wind for a sail. I hope in the next few days, the wind will PERFECT for sailing. I'm REALLY excited about the run on Sunday!

10km run

Hi! On the seventh of August, Mum, Summer, Coral and I are going to go on a 10km run in Blenheim. We are training up at our place on the hills. I wonder how flat it is going to be on the run. I am going to do the run in barefeet, because I don't like running in shoes. (Unless the ground is really cold!)
I am looking forward to the run, I think it will be really FUN!
