My Best Holiday

Last Year my mum’s family came from Samoa to Auckland. My three aunties and my two
cousins, a boy aged three and a girl aged eight came to live with me for two months. They
came to my mum’s first cousin’s graduation.

My mum bought a new van so my family can go to Wellington. My uncle Ata drove the van all
day long. At 3:00am we started to pack up our stuff and food. My dad made a pot of coffee for
the adults. He didn't go because he has to look after the dog and the house.

During the drive it was a little bit boring. There was nothing to do so I just sat and listened to
the Samoan music. On the way to Wellington my mum’s family were fast asleep because the
driving was long, it took four hours to get to Wellington.

When it was 7:00am we were still on the road, everyone in the van was exhausted and hungry.
Then my mother had an idea she told my uncle to pull over so we can have a break.
After that my mom’s whole family came outside so that we could stretch our legs and our
whole body.

When it was time to go back inside one of my cousins was a little bit noisy and that would be
my youngest cousin. He always cries when someone takes his toys. On the way to Wellington
my little cousin always hangs around my mum sometimes he annoys me.

Meanwhile, when we arrived at the Wellington Hotel my mum’s first cousin came outside and
hugged one of my aunties. My cousin Nesa is my mum’s first cousin but I call her my cousin.
The reason why we went to Wellington is because my cousin Nesa Graduated at the special
place called the University of Wellington.
