Labour Day

Labour Day

Labour Day is on the fourth Monday of October. It is a public holiday. A public holiday is when mostly everyone gets a day off. Labour Day was created when a man called Samuel Duncan didn’t want to work more than 8 hours a day. He created Labour day. But enough about history. Why do people get a day off? Well, let me answer that. People get a day off because it is a public holiday. This Labour weekend I did nothing but sit on the couch and watch TV. Well not all weekend, I did do some kicking around with a Soccer ball and play with the neighbours.

In The Holidays

In The Holidays

In the holidays I went to Rainbows End with my family. We went on many rides. Here I will list them for you. Corkscrew Roller Coaster x2, Fearfall, Jesse and Dad went on the Invader twice, Dodgems x2, Goldrush x2, Log Flume x2, Bumper Boats x2, Motion Master, Family Karts and For lunch we had Hound dog.

In total that is 15 rides. My favourite ride was the bumper boats because it was fun getting wet and wetting everyone else. The only ride that I NEVER want to go on again was the Fearfall.

Another thing I did in the holidays was go to my Grannys. Jesse and I spent two nights there. We were accompanied by our cousins Jonny and Ben. We went down by a mill. There were a lot of tree branches so Jesse said “Let play a game, pretend we are on an abandoned island and we need to make a little hut.” Turned out since I was the only girl I had to be the Mum Elizabeth, Jonny was the father Jason, Jesse was the older brother Hayden and Ben was the baby brother Henry. We haven’ finished our hut yet, Jonny and Ben were going to try to finish it while Jesse and I went home. I don’t think they did, But I must have hope, shouldn’t  I?
