Connor has written about an outing that was memorable to him - a part of his personal history!

Wet 'n' Wild

I was getting worried, James had not rang back to tell me if he could pick me up or not. It was 6:00pm and he said he would ring at 4:00pm. Suddenly, the phone rang, yes,it was James. He told me he could pick me up at quarter to six. I ran upstairs to get my gear ready!

At six we were there. I saw Jed and Brett in the queue waiting to get their ticket. We were arranging it for over 3 weeks now and I could not believe it.
''Connor,James come here get in front of us.'' I heard Brett shouting to us. ''Where have you been?''
"We were in traffic and we had to get petrol,''replied James.
''Anyway your turn to get your ticket.'' I said to Brett, Brett not even noticing Jed had ran off.

When we got changed, me and Jed went out to see if any one else had come. We saw Teigan chatting with Abbie with Charlie, Owen, Mark, Gary and Zoe-Lee having a right mess around behind them.

At 7:25 we went to the pool side. ''Five minutes to go,'' I heard Zoe-Lee saying to Mark in her squeaky voice. She always does her squeaky voice when she's excited. The whistle blew and we jumped in, Brett aimed for the alien float and the rest of us for the big one everyone wanted because it can hold the most. The funny bit is that Owen and Charlie came back with small circular ones.

We made a game, the boys got a big float and the girls got a big float and we played titanic. The girls had Teigan's family because there were more boys than girls.

At about 8:00 we all lined up for the slide. All the boys turned around, went head first and screamed 'I LOVE AMERICA!!' and the girls went just normal, apart from Teigan, she copied us.

AT 8:30 everyone started to get out. When we got changed half of the boys put hair gel on because,well,we're boys. For most of us the best part of the night is after swimming, we all get chips with salt,vinegar,tomato sauce and a tad, OK a bit,OK OK a lot of slush puppy on top. Then a few people (me, Brett, Jed and Owen) get sweets and tip them on top and after that home time.

We all said goodbye when we left and screamed at them till they'd gone up the road and we went home, put a DVD on and fell asleep watching and that was the best night of our lives(so far)!!

The End
