Monster Tag

It was a warm sunny, Sunday afternoon. My cousins, friends and I went over to play Monster Tag, in a big patch of long grass
As we went over to the big patch of grass, we couldn't believe our eyes. The big patch of grass was about the size of a soccer field. One of my cousins was the monster. Slowly, we crawled through the feathery grass. We all were as quiet as a spider on its web, waiting for its prey. It felt like the grass was a never ending maze. I heard a noise behind me. It was my cousin, the monster. She rushed behind me. It was down to speed. I quickly went to find a place to hide. I said to myself, "I can do this." I found a place to hide. She put her hand out but, when I saw it, I crawled as fast as I could. I made it. I never got tagged. Yay!
I said to myself, "Next time, I think I should be the monster."

Going To A Horse Show

One rainy Saturday afternoon, my Nan, Granddad and I went to a Horse Show in Mystery Creek in Hamilton.


As we went inside, I was excited. There was a big crowd. As I watched through the show, there was only one part that was amusing. It all started with a man dressed up as a cowboy riding a wild horse.


He had to do an obstacle course while riding the wild horse. There was one part of the obstacle that made it difficult for the horse. The horse had to stand on a medium size rubber tyre with a round piece of wood on it so that the horse could stand on it.
As the rider and the horse came towards the tire, the horse stood up on the tyre and then it fell off. The second time it went on the tyre, it  wouldn't come off. Now the rider was stuck on the horse, so a lady came over and gave the rider a grey coloured whip. The guy whipped the whip on the ground but it still didn't come off, so the rider came off and went under the horse legs. Everyone laughed. The rider whipped the horse and finally it came off.

I said to myself that was so much fun and I hope we can do this again sometime.
