This is their Tire Swing

Their tire swing is sort of not like our swing. Four people can go on and you can get off whenvever you want and push and push and just get on and it's really fun because you go round and round in circles. When it stops you go in circles. And sometimes if you push a certain amount of time and get on at a certain time you can go right up in the air and it is really fun. While we were on the swing we saw a Duck Boat drive by and go into the water. A Duck Boat is bus that has a picture of duck on it. The special thing about it is that you can go right into the water. It floats like a boat.

Spinner

This is really fun. You go up and then you go down really fast on this round circle thing. And if you are on the side it goes so fast that you can fly right off. I found this Spinner on a playground in Rotorua. If you sit in the middle you don't fall off. I found that out the second time I fell off. Then I was in the middle, my brother pushed me off, that was third time. Then in the middle there was two middles so I let one of the other kids on the other middle and his brother kept pushing him off so he fell off a thousand times I couldn't keep counting. You can sort of see us with the down part is on your left and the up part is on your right. You can sort of see me trying to get back into the middle it's really hard.

the Moa bird

This is what is left of a Moa Bird. It has been extinct for over 500 years. I saw the bones in a cave while we visited the caves in the town of Waitomo. Those stones that you can see were in its stomach because it didn't have teeth. The stones are gizzards. They helped grind up the food. We don't know how the bird got there or how it died. Norm, our guide, thought maybe the bird got hurt and wondered into the cave and died

The Zorb

It was awesome. The Zorb is a giant blue ball with a smaller one inside it. And you can roll straight down or zig zag down a hill or head over heals. We went in the Zorb with water in it. We had to put on our bathing suits. We went straigt down the hill. I was soaking wet. They gave us towels. My dad screamed as we rolled down the hill. Since I was on the side, all of the water was on my head. It was awesome.

Alden flying

This is me flying. It might look like that they are holding me up but they're just making sure that my legs are in the right position. It's just the fan that's blowing me up. I flew for 2 minutes and then after I flew for 2 more minutes. I had to wear this suit and the goggles so that the air would not get in my eyes. The suit help helps you fly because it has holes in the armpit place to make it blow. You have your own clothes on underneath it.

My friends and me and my brother in a tree

I made four friends but you can only see two because the other ones are not with me. These friends are Finn and Rowan. They live in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand which is in the same island as me. There are two islands in New Zealand. We live on the North Island. Hawkes Bay is on the east part of the island. They stayed with us for four days and they were fun. The tree we are in is a Pahutukawa tree. It is a Christmas tree that blooms flowers but it doesn't have flowers because it's not blooming time for it.

A VOLCANO

This is Mount Edgecomb and it is a volcano. It is dormant which means it is resting. I hope it sleeps while I sleep.
