Week 1 Day 3 Bonus Activity - It's All in the Family - Fun Family Facts

Hey guys this blog is about what two family members close to me like to do in the summer.
I will explain to you why they like it and what it is. Let's get into it!

The first person I chose was my mum, Romana.
She likes to spend summer at the beach because she likes to walk along the sandy beach, and see seals in their natural environment.
Her second favorite thing to do in the summer holidays is to enjoy bbqs with friends and family.  She said its because we get to eat yummy salads, and enjoy great company.

The second person I chose was my dad, Sam
He likes to rest, because he works hard all year round.
Secondly he likes to go camping with our family, and swimming at the beach at Nan's house. He likes doing this with us as it was something he remembers doing as a child.

Extra fun fact about a family member - My Great Nan - Sophie was awarded a Queen Service Medal a few years ago for her work with the Ministry of Fisheries.

Is there any fun facts you would like to share about your family?

Week 1 Day 3 Activity 1 - It's All in the Family - The More, the Merrier?

Hey guys today's blog is going to be my opinion on how I would feel having 9 siblings.

If I were to have 9 siblings I think I would absolutely hate it.  I would feel so overwhelmed with all those people around me. I have an older brother and 2 younger sisters, I find it hard to spread my time with them.  We fight sometimes, not sure I could imagine fighting with 9 siblings and having to share everything with them.


Thanks for tuning in to my blog. what would you feel like having 9 sibling tell me in the comment section below and follow for daily blogs see ya!
