It was Saturday February 28, 2009 in the morning, we were ready to go
excursion.  My family and I started journey by bus at 9 o'clock.  We were going
together with other family.

When we reached near by a destination, we saw a boat floating over the beach
I was surprised how it was going.Then we arrived to JCA camp at about 11
o'clock and we met many different families who had come just before us. Then
after we put our bag in our room and had breakfast.

After I was playing basketball for a few minutes, we were going to Avoca
beach which took 20 minutes driving.  There were so many people and so many
children were playing in Avoca beach.  I was very excited when the water up and
down.  The beach was so big and salty which I had never seen it before. The
funny thing it happened to me was the water came after me and I was running
to escape but I couldn't stand and I fell down.  I was really excited.  Later, we
returned back to the camp and we had lunch and rest then we were playing
with other children.

When the night came we went for dinner. After dinner we had party. There was
a beautiful music that everybody was singing and dancing.  During the time we
wore a special and unique cloth. Mum and Dad were happy.  I really enjoyed it. 

The next day in the morning we had breakfast and we went to Terrigal beach.
It took about 30 minutes driving from our place.  The beach was similar as
Avoca but it was fast and the weather was windy.  We actually enjoyed it very
much however; we stayed only a few hours. We returned back to our place and
had a shower and lunch. Then after lunch, the representative from JCA made a
speech and said goodbye. Finally the bus were ready we put our bag and got in
the car then we returned back to our place at 4 o'clock.

This was the first excursion which I always remember and I never forget.  I am
very grateful for JCA'S Community as a whole by the name of my family for their
invitation that we all enjoyed it very much.

Thank you!
