Lake Leake part Three

As the title would suggest, this is a third section of my weekend, and it would do you good to read the first two segment frist. But anyway...on with the story. ON Monday morning, Poppy came up to see us and to get his new fone of Mum. His fone is a brick, about twice as thick as mine, and identical to the one that one of the boys in my class has. He got just after 10am, and Ray wasn't out of bed and I was stil in my pjs. Ray and I both got dressed and then went out to see him. We were all sitting in the lounge room, then I saw James riding along the road, past our window. Kez and I decided to go for a ride too, to see if we ran into him. (you see, we sort of don't mix with them till such time as we meet outside, then we head inside) We reached the road at the same time as Ollie, so we rode along fairly slowly with him. I got bored, so i started to again try and beat James at clapping. It took me a while to get back into it, but then i got 16!!! Exactly the same as James' top score the day before!!! I raced of on Kez and Ollie, caught up with James and told him that we were tying. He automaticly began trying to beat me, so he could have the victory. But before he even got back into it I scored 17, then 24. 24!!! That put me in the lead by 6 whole claps!!! But then James had to go and spoil it all by getting a totaly amazing score like 42. He actually got 42!!! I wouldn't have believed him, except for the fact that I counted them myself. I tryed for a bit longer, but I knew that I would have to admit defeat. 42 was just so outragously impossible. He only got there the once, didn't get close ever again. James victorious. I was sad. I thought at one stage I had won. Here's a picture of James on his bike, just cause I feel like puttin more pictures on my blog.



Then Sam came out and we all went inside to play cheat. I came second to Keziah. When I had been teaching Sam and James to play the night before, We had had the game working fine, then at one stage I had played a ten. It was Sam's go and she tryes to play her two tens. I'm, like, 'no Sam, your playing Jacks!' Then she goes, 'But I have tens!' And I say, 'yeah, but your playing Jacks.' 'But what do I do with the tens?!' James joins in with me 'YOU KEEP THEM FOR NEXT ROUND!' 'But I don't get it!' 'Just play the jacks' She did, and half way through the next round she says, 'I get it now!!!' And James says, 'Congrats.' So yeah. We played cheat, then James and I made a fire to cook dampa on sticks over. I started up and we all got our sticks, attached the dampa, then started cooking. James was saying how he was going to actually cook his properly for once, but it didn't hapen. He got it just a bit burned, then decided that there was no point in keeping on trying. So he decided it was his mission to get it as burned as posible. He dropped it in the fire, and the stick burnt away, we had to go and get the tongs so he could get it out. It looked like a big black dog poop. He the went and dropped it in the lake, so he could cut it open. And on the inside, it was raw. He didn't eat it, even though all the other six of us dared him to several times. Then we decided that it was warm enough to get in the water. Sam didn't want to come, so yet again I was left with James.



Thats me on the left in the red kyack, James is next to me in the other red, Beck is in the yellow, closest to us and thats Ray up the back. We raced around, James wanted to know what would happen if he filled his kyack up with water and he discovered you got very cold sitting in it, so I had to help him tip it out. He was too weak to get it out on his own. Then Dad got one of the water squirters out and we had a water/mud and mud fight. After about an hour, we all got out and got changed and warm. In the afternoon we had another competition. This time we had to make 'cars' that would roll quickly down toilet-run-hill. We started working in pairs; me with Ollie, Sam and Kez (Beck joined them), James with Ray. Ollie and I started by trying to get a working wheel and axle. We tryed to use some old glow-stick packets as wheels, and started looking for axles. Meanwhile Sam and the twins were diging through the morleys shed and found some old trucks and stuff. The first thing we knew, they were cutting the wheels of a plastic truck, while we were struggling to make axles. James and Ray, on the other hand, were doing nothing but arguing. Rachel somehow had the idea that it had to be a wooden car, whereas James, like the rest of us, wanted to use any old junk.Ollie and I were looking for decent nails, to use as axles, when James came up and started talking to us. Aparently, he got sick of Ray and ditcched her because they couldn't agree. He started off by just watching us, then he gradually became a member of our team. Well, the nail idea didnt work, it just ended up splitting the plastic we were nailing it through. Then Ollie decided we would try using a couple of old bike wheels. To my surprise, it actually worked. Then James and I set to work on using one of our glow-stick packets as an axle. We attached it by using ducktape, this was our end result.



Btw when it came to competition time, Ray decided that seeimg as she was a member of James' pair, that automaticly made her a member of our team. Anyway, here is our competition.



Any bets on who will win? Here are some shots of the 'cars' in action.





And...drum roll please...WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!

We only just finished in time, we had to go home straight after, but now you know how I spent my long week-end. I didn't laze around, it was the most active weekend I've had in ages.
