Sonia has a Holiday at Sheree's House

 

Sonia loves going to Sheree's home for a holiday because Sheree has a playhouse outside.

Inside the playhouse house there is a child's size table and two chairs plus Sheree's dolls and some toys.

The first evening when they went to bed Sheree's mother came to the bedroom door at 11.00pm and told the girls to stop talking. They will have plenty of time to talk tomorrow.

The next day Sonia and Sheree go to a public swimming pool to have a swim.

Sonia has jumped off the diving board into the pool and she waits for Sheree to do the same.

Sheree and Sonia have had enough playing in the pool and are now sunbathing to dry their swimming costumes.

The girls are now dry and sit on the chairs and have the drinks they brought with them.

On day two the girls go to a farm where you can have a donkey ride. Derek leads the donkeys around but has stepped aside for the photo.

They have also been allowed to go into the paddock with the mother and baby donkey.

On day three they go to the park to meet two All Blacks who play rugby for New Zealand. The All Blacks encourage the girls to practice kicking the rugby ball.

On day four they girls go to the area where the tuatara live. They are so happy to see some tuataras sunning themselves on the rocks.

This is the morning Sonia is going home. Sonya has had a lovely holiday and is looking forward to see Sheree at school after the summer holidays next year. (This is a two car door so Sonya's father has moved out the way so Sonya can climb into the back seat).
