Camp TC Reflection

My highlight of camp TC was the Dunker because we got to dunk people into the tub with water. When you hit the Target that's when they get dunked. It was fun because all of my team mates were wet except for me.
The thing I learnt from Camp TC was working together with people who you haven’t work before with and to not to annoy people when there tired.

Holiday highlight

8:00am In the morning I was so excited that I went and told every body to get up. While I was getting ready my sisters were annoyed because I was making to much noise.

It was Monday 3 Jan 2011 and we were on our way to the movies to watch Legacy Tron. I went with my sisters at Sylvia . On the Train I could only can think about was the movie that we were going to watch then the train stop it was’t a long ride it was just 2 stages. WE went up to the host and check what time was the movies so we pick Tron. It was about a young boy that his father got missing when he was 9 years old and found him when he was 26. He didn’t see him for 17 that is a long time. His father got missing because he got trap in a video game that he invented.

During the movie I was falling a sleep but my sisters didn’t even move it was weird. As I was eating I could taste the salty,crunching popcorn. While I was eating the tasty popcorn the movie was up to when the boy was fighting it was like Star Wars but this movie was better. I could fill tears coming down my face cause the dad didn't come out. While the movie was finish I was just like nothing happen. The movie was finish I didn't even stop talking about it my sisters were annoyed.

The next morning I was still thinking about the movie was stuck in my head.
I had a great time at the movie and cant wait to go again.
