Wow – what a holiday!  We arrived back this morning at 5 o’clock and I’m really tired. The journey home took eight hours and of course I couldn’t sleep on the plane. I watched a few films, then read a magazine about elephants! Mum wants me to go to bed but I had to get on my computer to write this blog. So before I go to sleep I want to tell you about the holiday. As you know, I went to Canada with my family. That’s my mum, my dad and Kelly, my sister. George, my older brother, couldn’t come because he started a new job last week. We stayed with my mum’s cousin and her family. They have a huge house: it’s bigger than ours and it’s got a big garden with lots of trees and a lake! Yes, a real lake. They go swimming in it in the summer. We couldn’t go in the water because it’s too cold now. In fact, they have snow everywhere at the moment. We had a great time in the snow. Every morning we had to clean the snow off the cars. We went to the mountains for a few days because they love skiing. I tried it too. It was fun. We also went to watch a game of ice hockey. That was very exciting but Kelly got bored. Younger sisters are a problem sometimes. She always wants to do different things. She wanted to go swimming and go to the cinema. I mean – you can do that in England!  Dad liked it in Canada because his best friend, Mike, lives there. They went out a lot together. I don’t think I’d like to live there all the time. It was a bit too cold and a lot of the people speak French. I can’t understand that! Anyway – it was a good holiday and I ate lots of pancakes with syrup! I didn’t do any schoolwork in Canada so now I have to read some books. Term begins next Monday. Help!
