we stopped at mcdonalds in palmy for tea and beka was there! it was gooood to see her again lol..
when we got to the camp, we found our rooms and stuff. me, william, johno, mitchell, (my mates) and dan were in the same room in the youth rooms.
lol this was soooo funny... so we fell asleep at like 1:30 in the morning, and me, johno, william and mitchell woke up at 4. lol and we couldn't go back to sleep so we quitely talked.. then we got in trouble with everyone, so at 4:30 in the morning we went into the hall and watched the sun come up and talked till seven...
lol everyone hated us for waking them up but they got over it :)
so i'd brought my snare drum and crash cymbal for the talent night but ended up playing it for worship on saturday. lol it was actually really good!
we had this petition thing and got someone to sign it with a shock pen... it was pretty funny...
it started years ago when there weren't peaches for breakfast so me and william got people to sign a petition to bring the peaches back to breakfast lol... :)
so our youth speaker was a guy called morgan. he thought i was a good drummer!!! he talked about protecting our hearts. it was pretty good.
after lunch we went down to the beach...
i'll just explain something...
for the last three years we've been to have a swim and never got one...
in 2007 a guy was caught in a rip and almost got dragged out to sea but a member of our youth group saved them... and so it was to dangerous to swim...
in 2008 the water was polluted or something and we couldn't swim in it...
in 2009 the lifeguards were practicing out in the sea and it was so choppy it flippped a boat and it wouldn't restart... so by the time we got there we couldn't swim. the lifeguards thankfully all got back safe and there were helicopters and all lol... it was pretty exciting.
and this year we actually got a swim!!!! a good one too. the water wasn't too cold and we rode the waves for over half an hour... it was gooood! :)
we got back and did the traditional gumboot throw.. its kinda wearing a bit off but yea =)
then it was the soccer game! it gets better every year. we wasted the adults 9-8. not really wasted but yea... it was fun...
so after tea we went up to the attic and had a chat with some others, then went into the hall for the talent night.
me, william, johno, and mitchell did this skit. it was funny as... i came in and looked under a blanket at "the ugliest person in the world" (johno) and screamed then had a heart attack and fainted. then mitchell dragged me off and i lost my flip-flop so had to go back onstage and find it. lol it was real funny.
then me and jaws and dan did one of our songs as a band. it was acoustic and we'd only written it this week, so it wasn't too bad :)
so when the talent show was over, it was about 9. we went over to this random tyre with 4 other year 10's. we kinda had a gang thing lol. then william, johno, dan and mitchell left but i stayed for a while with the others and listened to owl city under the stars... it was pretty cool...
so amazingly we went to bed early (1:00) cause it was the big day tomorow... wellington phoenix's last home game at nz, also the semi-finals of the a-league!!! :D me + jaws + dan were going down with the dempsters cause its william's birthday on monday...
so anyway at 7:30 sunday i had a shower. so did william.. it was really nice cause our legs were sore as from the soccer game yesterday lol...
we had this fun thing we did, when one person went down the flying fox and everyone else went at the end in the line. then at the last second everone moved. it's freaky... johno took a video of it from first person on his phone recorder. it was funny.
so at quarter to 1 we left for wellington... we were going to get foxton fizz but we didn't want to be late so :)
it was sooo hot in wellingon! we got our tickets and went to the cake tin...!
man i've missed it.. it was even better, because tickets were SOLD OUT!!!!! there were over 30,000 people in the crowd. 
and if wellington phoenix won, they'd go into the final of the A-League!!! :O
it was a great game. we wer right beside the corner flag, and it was like the best view...
so newcastle jets scored the first goal... noooo! but then phoenix scored just before half-time. it was crazy!!! the stadium errupted with 32,000 people clapping, jumping, and screaming. it was wild!!!... but awesome...
the next half went goaless... but there was a mexican wave started by the crowd, and it went around the stadium four and a half times! it was mean...
so in the first half of extra time phoenix scored!!! the same craziness... man it was awsome.. it was also how funny the crowd mocked the australians. in a hollywood by an aussie, the crowd chanted, "same old aussies.. always cheating!!!!" man it was funny... and we booed everyone time it wasn't fair or if they were close to getting a goal...
then the wellington phoenix scored again!!!! man it was awesome!!!
not long after the last goal the whistle blew! phoenix won 3-1!!! everyone was cheering.... apart from like, five aussie supporters...
man it was a mean game... but we got stuck in a traffic jam on the way out though... :)
so then we went to see our grandad in wellington hospital... he survived and is looking really good thankfully. thanks everyone for your prayers!
lol on the way in the hospital we passed a car with a dog in the boot. jane started teasing it and going, "come and get me!!! little dog!" lol then a man climbed out of the car and said, "wouldya please stop teasing my dog?!" lol it was sooo embarrassing!!! :) ...but funny..
so we stopped in paraparauma for tea and got home at 11:30...
so yea it was a GREAT weekend - even better than i thought it would be :)
