The Farm

By Ivy

My family and I flew on a plane for 27 hours to Australia. Then, after a few days we drove 5 hours to my friend’s farm. When we arrived we ate breakfast we went out to and got our boots on then ride horses. My friends and I went out and got then went out e horses out of the pasture. My horse, waffles, was being stubborn and not coming with me. He was eating the grass which he shouldn’t have done because it is not good for the rider because when riding they may eat and you may fall off. I pushed him all the way down to the stables. We washed them up and then saddled the horses up and road them around and saw kangaroos, wombats, koalas, red belly black snakes that almost bit my dad because he was throwing rocks at it. We were careful not to get lost because, trust me, it was easy. After that we went to bed. In the morning we rode the mule like golf cart down to collect pine cones. Then, we went see the wombats, and the kangaroos. We rode the horses again when we got back to the house. The next day we went to the river one my friend’s property and swam. It was so fun because you could swim in on place and not go any were. The river was so fast because it hit some small rapids then a Mini waterfall that we all went down. It ended in a small pool with fish, tadpoles, and frogs. So me and my friends got a few cups and caught them. When we got back to the house we had to pack up to leave to Sydney to stay for the next few weeks.  At my family’s apartment that we were renting on the last day, it was Christmas so we had to pack up all is stuff to leave. Since, we were going back to the States so we had a 40 hour Christmas.
