Have you been to the snow mountain before?

On Saturday my dad, my mum and I went to Mt Ruapehu to go to the snowy mountain I had to wear a jacket, glove and a beanie because it’s really cold. When I got there, my gave me a helmet in case someone throws snow at my head. I might get a headache if someone did that.

When my dad, my mum and I were having a snowball fight, a random kid joined my team. I was using my own sled as cover and my dad hit me once in the head but didn't hurt because I was wearing a helmet soon my hand was frozen from holding the snowball for too long.

When our snowball fight ended my dad and I was sliding down the hill on our sleds. It was so much fun, but my mum didn't want to go slide down the hill because she was scared.

My favourite part of the day was when the kid joined my team because he wanted to help me. I hope we can have another snowball fight soon.
