These beds are huge!

On Sunday afternoon my family and I went to the 2 Dollar shop. We went there using our old, red, speedy car. We went there to buy some stationery. As we were buying stationery, we saw Pizza Hut, so we decided to buy two humongous pizzas after buying the stationery.

We ordered two delicious pepperoni pizza with mozzarella cheese on it. We had to wait ten to fifteen minutes for our order to come. While we were waiting, I went into some of the shops and saw all kinds of things like toys, bingo cards, dresses and car parts. Soon our ordered was ready and I was so excited about eating it.

After we picked up our order, we went back home to eat our delicious, hot pizza. I only got to eat one quarter of the pizza. I also took out a lemon soda from the fridge. It tasted amazing to me but my mum hated it.

Next we went back to our old, speedy red car to go to Harvey Norman. When we got there, I quickly went inside and saw a lot of devices, beds, furnitures and more. We went to the bedding department and there were a lot of big beds, that you could sleep up to five people. We spent a lot of time in the bedding department.

Have you ever experienced rolling on a big field?

On Sunday afternoon, my family and I went to Cornwall for fun. We brought ice cream. The flavour was Cookies and Cream, my favourite flavour!  There was a big field so we stayed there. We took fantastic photos. The ice cream was delicious!

After that we saw an enormous cherry blossom trees. They look beautiful so we took a lot of pictures of it. There were so many people who liked the cherry. Some of the people played with frisbees in the park.

Then we went back slowly so I could roll down. When I reached the top I was scared to roll down but I was ready. When I rolled down the field, everything moved and turned quickly. I became so dizzy that I felt very confused afterwards. Rolling on the big field was very fun!

I started to walk back up to go back to our shiny red car. I asked if I could roll down again but mum said not to because my clean clothes are going to get dirty. It was fine that I couldn’t roll again because I experienced rolling in a big field already.

Sunday was a very fun day because I rolled on the field, took awesome pictures and ate delicious frozen ice cream with my family. Next time we go to Cornwall park I want to roll on the humongous field two times. I felt so exhausted after rolling on the field but it was a lot of fun.
