4. In the holidays I went to Raglan and Hamilton. I went there to spend time with my Nan and Granddad, cousins and my other brothers and sisters. I spent most of the time with my cousin Ammaron, my brother Boston my sister Tyrah and cousin Shai. On the Thursday of the second week we played on the motorbike all day but we still had breakfast and lunch. It was funny because my cousins kept on making it breakdown. On Saturday my uncle, my cousin and I went opossum shooting. We shot 8 opossums and me and my cousin Ammaron got to kick its head. It was cool when my uncle broke its skull. I broke a opossum skull but only once. We had to pluck its fur off and we got paid for it too. We got paid $10 dollars each. My favourite part of my holidays was going opossum shooting because I’ve never been opossum shooting. My Holidays 28 of April 2009 Ted sweet
