We played a soccer game 3 weeks and we lost by 19 points. The score was 1 – 20 to the other team. We only had 9 players as some people were on holidays. I scored the only goal and this is how it happened.

I was dribbling the ball up the pitch but had accidently knocked the ball a bit too far from myself. The guy in front of me had it and he was the last player in defence for the other team. He then tried to pass the ball to a team mate but it wasn’t a good pass and I intercepted thanks to the pressure I had put on the player to make a mistake. I was then one on one with the goalie on a very tight angle. About 4 metres from the goal line when I shot. The goalie was advancing towards me so I shot with my left foot hoping for the best. As you may know, I don’t kick with my left leg. I shot and it went over the goalie’s head, bounces off the inside of the far post and bounced in. I would have to say that has to be one of my best goal of the year so far.

One day after school my mum waned us to sit at the table. at the table my mum said,” You now how we’ve wanted to go to Australia? Well, God has directed us to go to Australia to live!

“Hurray!” we all shouted. It was remarkable. My wish had finally come true.

It was then time for me to go to bed. That night I dreamed of us hoping on a plane to Australia.

In the morning we had to get ready to go to Australia. Mum had to make the house look nice and dad had to fix some things around the house. A guy named Joe (of course), bought the house the exact same day.

We then had to head to Grandma and Grandpa’s house to stay until we left.

Finally, it was time to head to Australia. We kissed and hugged everyone goodbye. We then boarded the plane to Dallas, the first stop to Australia. The engine went on and we were off. Whoosh went the sound of the plane soaring through the sky. I looked through my window in the plane and I couldn’t see anything. After a couple of seconds, I saw the sky shining like a glistening jewel. After a couple of hours, we landed in Dallas.

When we got of the first plane we had to board another plane which was going to be the longest plane ride ever! The plane was going to Sydney, Australia.

“Goodbye Canada!” we all said.

After a day and a night we arrived in Sydney. We were so excited to be back in Australia. We boarded the last plane quickly so we could get to Adelaide fast. The plane finally took off. We were finally heading home. When we got there, we found Gran and Pop. We were so excited!

In a couple of weeks our luggage finally came. I had my Lego back and I had to build everything again. It took me 2 months to make it again.

After I built my Lego, Pop and I went fishing. I caught a big fish and on the fish was written, “The End!”

Australian ice tobogganing is so much fun. You go really fast but its scary too all at the same time. Here is how I did the ice tobogganing.

I was invited too a friends birthday party. We went to a park for the party where there was a big and small hill. We first started with the small hill, then we went on the big hill.

Australian ice tobogganing is when you go on a block of ice with a string going through it. You then go on top of a hill, sit on the block of ice, and then you go down the hill. At first its hard, but when you have done it a few times it’s actually quite easy.

It is so much different to Canadian tobogganing on snow.

So that’s what Australian ice tobogganing is.

On Tuesday I went to Gran and Pop’s house because Mum and Dad had a Doctor’s appointment and after they had the doctor’s appointment they would have tea (supper) out.

When I was at Gran and Pop’s house I played with a home made race track with Elijah and it was a blast. Then I went outside with Elijah to play with the ball and see some ducks. When we came inside I watched a football tape with Elijah. Elijah and I were the commentators and we  booed and cheered. After I got tired of watching TV. I asked Pop if we could go to Brighton oval to kick the football at the goals. So off me and Pop went to the oval.

After I started kicking the ball at the goals I saw someone with long hair running around the oval. The person came closer and he asked me to handball the ball when he passed so I did, then he hand balled it back to me. When the man was farther away I went to tell Pop who I thought I saw. I told him that he looked just like Rory Sloane. Pop agreed that he was Rory Sloane, but we were wondering why was he at Brighton oval, shouldn’t he be on holiday or training at football park instead of being at this small and ordinary oval?

Rory Sloane was about to past us again so Pop found a piece of paper and a pen. He was right in front of us when we asked for his autograph but he ran right past because he was in a middle of a run, but he said he would be back soon, and he was. The next time he passed us he ran a bit farther but he then walked back to us.

He then signed the piece of paper then he talked to us a bit which was lucky. He also stood on the mark and wanted me to kick the ball at the goal at a really sharp angle. I kicked the football to the goal and it went in. After I kicked the ball to the goal he came over to me and gave me a high five and called me “Eddie Betts” (a good kicker who runs around the mark and kicks).

When we were at home we told everyone at home that we met Rory Sloane and got his autograph. They were all really happy for me seeing and talking to my favourite football player. Then we all had tea (supper) at Gran and Pop’s house. We had a roast with some vegetables with orange juice.

Mum and Dad came home a bit later that night because they had tea out. After they told us about there day I talked about my day. They were also happy for me seeing him.

The next day my dad checked on Twitter to see if Rory Sloane had tweeted back. We saw that he tweeted but it was weird in a different sort of way. I didn’t tell him about my dad’s first name and my dad didn’t mention my name at all. Yet he mentioned my name in his reply, he said that I had really good aim. Also, he remembered my name when other people wouldn’t remember my name. Our family think that Rory and me had a good time, especially me.

@BillHutchison no worries.. Caleb can kick the footy very well.

Meeting Rory Sloane was the best part of my holiday, and I think it will stay like that. He is very friendly and kind to everybody, and that’s why I like Rory Sloane so much.

Last month I  just started playing soccer for my school and we’re doing great. We’ve won one, lost one, and tied one which is pretty good.

Our first game we tied 1-1. Then our second game we lost by just one goal 3-4. Then our third game we destroyed the other team 7-1 which I loved.

My favourite goal so far as been when one of my team mate did a corner kick and it bounced right off the other teams player and right into their own goal.

So far our team has got eleven and I’ve got four assists so far.

The team that I’m on right know is a good team and some of my new friends are on the team which I like.
