we got up this morning and got ready for school... it was really cold and rainy a little bit, it seemed as if we were at home in chicago. mrs megchelse drove me shannon and heidi to the bus stop where we waited for the school bus. we were the first stop and from there we had about a 35 minute bus ride to katikati college. we met up with our whole group at the maori meeting place for first period, where we got a welcoming song and ceremony. the kids showed us how to play traditional maori instruments and such. after that was over me and shannon got to go to the action center where heidi had a volleyball tournament. we got kinda lucky and didnt have to go to class since her tournament was during the school day. even though seeing how the classes our here wouldve been kinda cool. she had four games for the day, and her team only won one game. we stayed there for 2nd and 3rd period then went back to maori meeting place where we had a demonstration on how to use a weapon like instrument. and some of the kids got to try a routine with the guy who did the demonstration. we then went inside the meeting place where we had a hangi. its where the maoris cook the food underground using hot stones. it wasn't that great.. but we all tried it out anyway to be respectful. we stay there until the end of the school day which ended at 305. heidi came and got us, then we went back to the action center because she had basketball practice until 5. shannon and i got to participate in the practice too. it was very fun. mrs megchelse then picked us up then we went home for dinner. we talked and watched their favorite tv programs and such then headed off to bed for the night. it was an interesting day and it was cool to see how the school here works compared to ours at home. we also got to go to the grocery store on the way home which was also neat to see the simple difference. like them calling to cart rack the trolley bay.
oh and we got the devastating news that michael jackson died :(

Hi Babe,
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather has started to improve. It was very warm here again today. Right now it is raining. We are supposed to have storms tonight.
BTW, I wasn't "creeping" on your flight. Don't you think all the parents want to know that you all arrived safely when you are flying. I believe that's why P2P created the phone chain. Rebecca's mom is who calls me for the phone chain, it was frun to talk to her. We talked for awhile and compared notes. Sounds like you are both having fun and forming an amazing friendship.
How come your blog didn't mention your shopping trip? haha Is your suitcase even going to close at the end of the trip?
Since Grandma Dolly does not use a computer, I promised to try to print your blog and mail it to her. She is so excited for you and curious about how your trip is going.
Enjoy your next stop, maybe this will be the resort where you and Rebecca get to room together. Fun times.
Love you, Mom
Hi Boo Boo
ReplyDeleteHow were the hot springs? It is 11:00pm Sunday night. I went to Lamps tonight with Mrs. Wittkowski, Mrs. Mlynarczyk and Aunt Karyn for dinner. We had cheeseburger wraps, no nachos tonight. I will wait for you to come home for those. It was warm again here today so we sat outside, upstairs.
Starting next week, it is supposed to cool down, upper 60s low 70s. We were in the 90s all this past week.
I went to watch two of Robbie's baseball games this weekend. His poor team can never catch a break. They are not bad, they just start making stupid errors and then they kinda fall apart. I think he is enjoying playing though. They still have not won a game. :(
My back has been bothering me all day, maybe I need one of your tropical massages!
Love you lots.
P.S. have you gone to the opal place yet?
Grandma Dolly called this morning. She was very excited to have received your card. I think you made her very happy.
