Trip to Southend

Andrew: On the 10th of November we went to grandmas. We left home at about 9:00 am. We got there at about 10:30 am. When we got there uncle john was there with his kids. After uncle john had left we sat round and talked then we went out side and brought some extra chairs in for lunch. Me and Lauren stayed out there and played badminton and soccer. Then we came in and had lunch we had sausage rolls pizza, salad, chicken and lots more. After lunch I walked down to the corner shop and brought some football cards which I am collecting. When I got back we played cards and at about 4:30 pm Uncle Roy came up to take Nan to Southend because we were going as well. Grandma didn’t go she went to play cards at a friends. We left at about 5;30 pm. It took us about 30 minutes to get there. When we got there we were only going to go on the arcade machines. But if you got there after 6pm your ticket for the rides was half price. So we got one each they were 10 pound. The first couple of rides were good. I played this game were u had 4 balls and u had to knock down 3 clowns that were on a stand. There were about 30 clowns my first ball missed. My next 2 hit so my last one needed to hit and it went in between 2 it was so unlucky. Then we went on some more rides we went on a rollercoaster that dropped about 20 metres then went upside down twice and twisted round. Then we went on a ride called big drop. It went up about 40 metres then dropped straight down. Then we went on a ride called tidal wave. We didn’t know what it was. It was were you went in a little rubber dingy down a water slide and we got soaked. We didn’t have a change of clothes. Then we had fish and chips. After fish and chips we watched a fire work display it went for about 20 minutes. Then we had some more rides and went over to the amusements I won about 1 pound. Then we went home I was staying at grandmas with nanny. She had been staying there all week. Tonight was her last night. Mum dad Nash and Lon went home they got home at about 12am. We got home about 11 pm. The next day auntie Chris took me home with nanny and grandma. We stopped at a place called marine for lunch I had a burger. The place over looked a lake. Then we went into town after town we went back to our house grandma and Chris stayed until about 7pm. When they left we played some games with Michael Daniel and Craig. We played carpet bowls and magnetic darts they left at about 9 pm it was a good weekend.
