I did schoolwork all morning then we all went to the beach. Mom laid out while dad and I went fishing. Kylie played in the sand and tried to find pearls inside of oysters. I caught one big fish and many little fish.
On the way back we stopped next to a road-side stand and bought some delicious, mouth watering strawberries.
We arrived home around five thirty and had baked ziti for dinner. It was very good but not as good as Palmero's!
New Zealand Fact Of The Day- New Zealand has three special holidays.
Labor Day (in 1890) celebrates the day when trade unionists got their wish to work only eight hours per day.
Anzac Day celebrates the day when Australia and New Zealand tried to take over the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. Poppy Day is the Friday before Anzac Day. Volunteers hand out poppies and earn donations for the veterans.
Waitangi Day is basically New Zealand's Thanksgiving. It celebrates the day when the Maori and England signed a treaty which allowed England to colonize New Zealand (in 1840). It was not made an official holiday until 1974.
Mmmmm, strawberries and baked ziti- YUM!!
