40 Hour Famine.

On Friday we organised to go to Kate's house to do the 40 Hour Famine No Technology. We decided only to do twenty hours other wise we would have to stay two nights. The 40 Hour Famine is a Famine for children in need. This year the funds went to Papua New Guinea just off the top of Australia. Anyway, I woke up on Saturday morning very excited I got ready packed my bags had breakfast. Then mum reminded me to bring something to Kate's. So I decided to make vanilla cupcakes that we could ice for something to do it was quite a challenge and mum and I thought they wouldn't come out very good but they looked and smelt perfect. Paris and I organised for her to pick me up at twelve o'clock. I just finishes putting the cupcakes on a plate and their was a knock at the door. It was Paris so off we went up the road to Kate's house.

When we pulled in the drive Kate's horses were all tied to their quad. There was Sammy, Breeze and Fox. We got our stuff out of the car and put it in her living room where we were going to sleep that night. At that moment I forgot that I was supposed to bring mattresses also I forgot my sleeping bag so I wasn't quite sure what was going to happen until Kate said just use a recliner so we dragged a recliner out from the living room and I had to borrow Kates blanket but we were warm anyway. After that we went back outside and patted the horses. Then Kate's mum said for us to go inside and cook American hotdogs for lunch. I was in charge of cooking them and I could only see the top ones they looked perfect but when we took the rest out they had completely split in half so I was disappointed in myself but they were fine.

After we had lunch we went outside and put riding shoes on then we saddled the horses up. I rode Fox down to the arena she was being really naughty all the way down. We got to the bottom and we walked our horses around the arena. Paris was running around with Billy and I was walking Fox and she was being a real hassle and hard to handle so I swapped for Kate's horse Sammy. For the rest of the afternoon we jumped jumps Paris fell of Breeze when he broke into a canter. We trotted here and there but we got bored and decided to go back to the house I went on the back of the quad-bike while the others rode. Once we got back we brushed and covered the horses ready for the night. After that we put them back in their paddocks feed them and gave them water. Meanwhile Gizmo Kate's dog was trying to eat the horse poo so Paris and I were guarding it. It was really funny. Just as we were finishing up it started to rain. We were just in the nick of time. As soon as we got inside it absolutely pored down. So we sat inside we played The Game of Life. I came last then we had pizza for tea.

 After tea we made instant pudding iced the cupcakes and talked. All night we talked Kate's mum told us to shut up a few times then she came out and we decided to go to bed all night we slept off and on there was snoring, sleep-talking, sleep stretching all sorts. We woke up in the morning and played The Game of Life again I came second that time so I was pretty proud of myself. As soon as the twenty hours were up we turned on the TV we watched Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory. That finished and we heard my mum and dad coming up the driveway. They decided to stay for a coffee so we took heaps of pictures of ourself's. Once we finished that we were on our way home after having so much fun doing the 40 (20) Hour Famine.
