Have you ever had a birthday at the swimming pools before?

It was a cool, sunny day on Saturday the 28th of November, so my family and I went to the swimming pools in Panmure because it was my mum's birthday.

When we arrived there, we changed into our togs quickly like a rocket. Then we ran to the pools as fast as we could because it was filled with lots of people. Then we played some ball games. We passed the ball  back and forth to each other. When we were passing the ball, my cousin Danny threw the ball at me and it hit my face. It hit me so hard that I almost cried.

After a while, I felt better so I went to line up for the water slide. There was a long queue so it took me a long time to get to the top. When it was finally my turn, I felt a little bit scared because it was my first time.

When the light turned green, I went down the slide very fast.

After that, I was feeling hungry, but before we ate, we sang the happy birthday song to my mum. After that, ate some food. We had ice cream, hot dogs, chips, cake and some cold drinks. The food was very delicious and yummy. We had a nice, cold shower before it was time to head home. We had a lovely drive home.

I had a very relaxing time with my family and I really enjoyed going on the slides. I hope I’ll be able to try the other slides next time.
