   In the holidays my family went out to

Te Awanga for a holiday. At Te Awanga we have a big trailer that we stay in and we always stay out there because we have lots of family out there. I love to out to Te Awanga My popa owns the camp and my aunt lives in haumoana. My favorite things I did in the holidays were. Motorbiking,fishing and going to the cape.

While we were at Te Awanga I did a lot of motorbiking. When I was motorbiking I did a lot of crashing when I did a dirt around a tree on a quad. I did a lot of drifting on sand and dirt and sometimes when I did a drift in wet mud the mud would go flying up into the air. I did a lot of jumping. At Te Awanga there is a reserve with a big hill and a long ride up to it and over it there is a long trail and shingle and sand with small jumps to go over. When I did jumps sometimes a got higher than two metres and sometimes I just got a little bit of air.

We also did a lot of surf casting. We got a lot of small kahawai and big kahawai and small mullet and big mullet. My popa's best friend Stewart caught a huge moki off the beach. I wasn't there when he caught it I was riding the quad down the beach to find mussels but when I got back Stew already had stuck the knife in the fish's throat to bleed it to death. Mum said the people next to us said to mum “umm I think you have a fish” and the end of the rod was nearly touching the ground and it was a really big surf caster too. When the fish was dead we sat by the bomb fire and had a rest from all the fishing. On friday mum also caught a big fish but this time it was a Trivale and that time I wasn't there either but mum said it took a long time to pull up but both fish were yum. While we were at Te Awanga we also spent a lot of time at the cape. By cape I mean kapekidnappers. We ad lest went to the kape about 5 times but one of those times we only got half the way because there was a massive rock slide. There had been a lot of rock slides but this was the biggest that I had ever seen. When we got to the rockslide we stayed there for about  half an hour trying to find a way around the rocks and trees and dirt. The only way the we could get past was if we road the quad and motorbikes in the sea but we couldn't do that because it was too deep but after a couple of days the high tides should take the trees and dirt out of the way.
