Yesterday and today we had to write about our school holiday. We could do bit’s of our holiday or the whole holiday. I decided to do one bit of my holiday. Here is what I did…
Rocky Mountain
My family and I went up Mount Gray. It was really windy at the top, there was an awesome view, and we had a milo. It was super fun and we got 5 dollars at the end. I loved climbing Mount Grey!
It was a sunny Friday afternoon as Micah, Joel, Mum, Aunty Joli, Uncle Steven, my cousin Emma and I drove down to the bottom of Mount Grey (I think it was called Mount Grey,) to walk to the top of it. Once we got out of the car and Mum had her backpack on with the things inside it we all started the walk up the mountain. At first the track was quite wide with a few bits of gorse on it here and there, but after we had been walking for around 5 minutes the track got a lot skinnier. After a while pine trees started to cover us from the sun and pine tree leaves started to cover the rocky dirt floor we had been walking on. Micah, Joel, Emma and I were in front of Aunty Joli, Uncle Steven and Mum by a heap, so we decided to stop and wait for them to catch up.
Once they catched up we kept on walking through the forest on the mountain. “I’m bored,” said Joel with a bored tone in his voice. “Well, how about we play a game,” replied Emma. “What game,” asked Joel and I. “Um, how about…
After we had been walking for around an hour Emma pointed out “look, see that tower?” we nodded, “that’s the lookout.”
After about 5 minutes we reached the lookout and stopped to wait for Mum, Uncle Steven and Aunty Joli. Once they reached there they had a little break then we all kept on walking up the mountain. “About 10 – 15 minutes before we reach the very top now,” Emma said. It started to get very windy about 5 minutes after we left the lookout, and I knew we were almost there. When we reached the top we waited for about 1 minute before the others came. We sat down and Mum pulled out a puffer jacket for me to wear because it was so windy. She also pulled 2 out for Micah and Joel.
Aunty Joli pulled her backpack off her back and poured us some milo she had made back at the house. “This warms me up SO much” we all said or thought. After we had finished our milo we put the cups back in the bag. Mum took a few photos, then we started our walk back down the mountain. I loved it!
Conclusion
My family and I walked up Mount Grey and stopped at the lookout. Then we kept on going up to the very top. It was very, very windy at the top. There was an awesome view as well, and we had a milo, the milo warmed me up heaps. I loved climbing Mount Gray!
