Camping at Narrabeen: The rest of the day

Ayesha and Nadyne playing frog jump

Everybody's back from the beach and finished their showers now. We are all waiting for the frog jump. It's a party game where yo have plastic frogs and try to make them jump to the pond, by pressing it's tail. Everybody was was paired up and had to verse each other the winner gets to pick a prize [everybody got a prize, the winner just chose the colour.]

Everybody was happy with their prize [they all got different prizes, depending on their age] and played with it for the rest of the day. What happened to my friends [ kak Nisa and Noufal ] and myself for the rest of the day is this, the first part we all decided to get the map and find the playground. We found it pretty quick and told the little kids about it. They all wanted to play in the playground, so we had to take them there. We were all so bored [ my friends and myself, that is ] watching the little kids play on the equipment, so bored we said to them 'it's time to go back to the tent now.'

The second part of the rest of the day was this: kak Nisa had to do her homework [ I guess when you're in high school you get homework in the weekend ] and Noufal was just watching something on his Samsung tab. Do you want to know what I did? I just sat there and asked questions that they weren't answering. I gave up after sitting in a chair and watching them do their homework or playing on their Samsung and said 'You guys are sitting there doing nothing and I'm going to play with Rere and Dafina.' But kak Nisa said 'I'm doing something.' I had to admit she was right. Then I came up with a better sentence and said ' You guys are sitting there doing nothing that's exciting.' This time Noufal said 'This is exciting.' while he was pointing to his tab. Now I think of a better sentence and said for the last time ' You guys are sitting there doing nothing I think is exciting.' and walked away to join Dafina and Rere. I played with them for the rest of the day going in and out of tents, playing with our yo-yo and flashlights.

We had a nice barbecue dinner and went to sleep in our tents.

Camping at Narrabeen:North Narrabeen beach

Dafina, Rere and I playing with our bodyboards

Just finishing our food before we all head to the beach. About five minutes later we were all ready in our beach costumes as we gather our body-boards and walk through the gate and towards the beach. I was so excited when we set off. Five minutes of walking before we finally got there; and it turns out that the beach was on the other side of the river. The only thing on this side of the river was a swimming pool and rock pools. So we had to go all the way back to the main road and start walking to where the beach is. This took about ten minutes [ I thought it was longer since we had to climb up a hill ]. When we got there, we saw a beautiful long beach with big awesome waves. 

Once we started settling-in, all the little kids and Dafina and Rere were playing another party game. Three [3] people had to dig presents under the sand and the other three [3] had to find them and dig it up.

 After we finished the game everyone wanted to have a swim. We found out that the red and yellow flags were in the middle of the beach, while we were right at the end. So everybody picked up their stuff and walked along the beach to get closer to the flags. 

When we finally got there Dafina, Rere and I ran straight to the water, carrying our body-boards with us [actually Dafina didn't have a body-board, she just ran to the water]. We all had so much fun in the there, riding big waves, swimming and building a sandcastle with a big wall to protect it. 

We all went home when it was to cold to swim. Everybody went to have a warm shower and get ready for what we are going to do next.

Camping at Narrabeen: The real party

Ais, ready to hit the pinata

Waiting for Amy, she's going to arrive any minute. At 10 o'clock she arrived and pitch her tent [well her dad does]. Then we start our party! 

First, we were all given goody bags by Amy as her dad set up the pinata. This pinata was shaped as a cube and covered with crape paper. This must be homemade because no one could break it. With a few more hits Noufal managed to break it and sent the lollies flying everywhere [if you don't know, lollies are always inside pinatas]. Everybody was scrambling everywhere, though not Kak Nisa and Ayesha [ I was getting Ayesha's lollies for her ] They were sitting down and watching everybody scrambling for sweets.

Well, now all we have to do is wait till we go to the beach and after  that we're going to have another party game!

Camping at Narrabeen: Waiting for Amy

us being bored

The very first night I slept in a tent was a very rainy night. It rained all of the night! I woke up at five o'clock and the first thing I saw was that my parents were not here , and my sister was fast asleep in her sleeping bag. I found my mum outside,chatting with her friends outside. Once I was really awake I realized I was the first kid awake. I started walking around our block for a moment trying to feel warm. Around half past five my friends started waking up.We started talking and waited until the others woke up.

As soon as breakfast was ready we all got food and went to find seats. Around 6:30 everybody was awake and started to talk loudly. The food was delicious. We were all eating noodles and sitting on chairs or mats (since there wasn't enough chairs).

We all finished and played in different play groups, I usually go with Kak Nisa and Noufal, Ayesha plays with Nadyne, Ghaisan and Ais, Raiyan and Khalif play together and Rere and Dafina just 'explore' the tents.

Playing with Kak Nisa and Noufal is like stepping into 'boredville'. The only thing they do is sit down and watch a cartoon on the samsung tab. They're going to do this until ten o'clock I think, that's when Amy comes and when the real party begins.
