Catching up part one :D

My mom with the lady who made the cake

 cake!

This was what we had for dinner for the 1st night I think

I have some catching up to do. oh and you might be wondering why I said part one in the tittle well there was just a LOT  we did in Whangarei so I'm breaking it up into parts.  :) Even though I  did a blog post not that long ago, we've done a lot of things in that little time.


First Whangarei:     ( aka --- FUN garei!!!!)   ( wh is said like a F)


We went to James Ah - Mu's ( our NZ guide ) house last week. It's about 2 hours away from Auckland. So we rented to big vans and we had Jame's van and piled up all of us and drove there. Well in the car is fun ( kinda - it's a big van going up big tall windy roads so it can't be all the 100% fun ) because we are with the girls.  In my car we had Mandy, Brooke C, Brooke T, Brittany B, Kirsten, Margo, Atticus, James (he was driving) and me. I wrote a fairy tale story that had everyone in it while we were driving. It was way fun. Brooke T was a princess who was locked up in a tall building in downtown Auckland by evil Queen Brittany B! Kirsten was a fairy god mother, Margo was a tree (like grandmother Willow in Pokahuntus ) and Brooke C was a servant so was Mandy. Atticus was a boy who sold pomegranates with the governor James. Ha it was so funny and fun to write!  And while we stopped for gas Margo would get out and practice the dance were learning in Culture and we'd tell her what to do next and stuff. :D

Note: these were the LEFT OVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the driving payed off once we got there. All the girls got to sleep on mattress in two big tents. But one girl got to sleep in the same room as me Brittany L. I slept on the mattress on the floor and she slept on the bed. Atti slept in my parents room. I can't tell you how much food we ate. Don't even get me started.   The amount of food we had for even just one meal is bigger than what we have at Thanksgiving. For one night James invited all of the YSA to come over for a BBQ. That was way fun. Their YSA is HUGE!! So you know what that means.................. heaps................ of food. And everyone brought a plate of food as well. The pic. up there of the long cake is what one of James' family members brought. Oh forgot to mention some of James' family came as well. ( even more food )


With the YSA we played Valley ball, frezzby, touch ( rugby ) & one really fun thing that we did was one of the girls got there Ipods and made a playlist and hooked it up to one of the vans and they pulled up up by the back yard, opened up all the doors and played it really loud. So we had all this fun music playing as well so we all danced to.

YSA dancing 

well that's all I have time for right now to do :D I have no idea why's it's big and bolded ....... hope you enjoyed the post..... more pics to come!
