My time at Dreamland

Last week me, my 2 brothers, my mum, my dad and my best friend Keagan went to a water park called Dreamland in Umm al Quain. It takes quite a bit of time to get there from Dubai but it was worth the wait.

The first ride we did was the Dream Stream. It is where you have either a single or a double rubber ring and you float with the tide. I fell asleep once when we went on the Dream Stream!

Me and Keagan went on every ride in Dreamland. There are a lot of rides.

My three favourite rides were the Blackhole, because you go through a pitch black tunnel in a double rubber ring then fall into the water, the Kamikaze, because it is the highest ride, there are two slides at the top, the blue one is where you go straight down then go in the water and the pink one is where you go down then straight then down into the water and the Family ride because you go up ramps and then into the water.

At first me and Keagan were scared to go on a ride called the Twister but then in the end we went on it and it was really fun. It was scary because you go through a pipe and then fall into a funnel kind of thing then you fall into 3 metres deep water!

Here is me, Keagan, my dad and one of my brothers on the family ride.

My brothers birthday party

At my older brothers birthday he had a sleep over party and we had 8 friends. first we went to watch prince of persia the movie. It was awsome.

Then we went to our house and played on the xbox and played foosball which was his birthday present from our family. After that we had a water fight and wrestled in the pool. At night we had a bonfire with marshmallows, I like to set mine on fire the throw it in the bonfire. When we were playing football I accidently kicked the ball on fire. When we went back in the house we stayed up all night. It was great.

My school's world record

Our school was asked to go paint a giant canvas (painting) of the world to try get into the Guinness World Records 2011. I was painting the border of a rainforest.

We only had 3 minutes but we beat the World Record. We had 500 people painting at once! We did it in the new Mirdif City Centre in Dubai.

School astronaut visit

Here in my school we had an astronaut visit and I had a chance to ask him a question. His name was Barry E 'Butch' Wilmore. He went to the Space Station.

My question was, what ambition made you want to go into space?

He said that it when he was a boy he had always been good at sports but he wanted to go to space. He said that when he was a boy he asked his mum lots of questions about how things happen so he went up into space to try and find out himself.

Stargate theme park

Today I went to a theme park called Stargate in Zabeel Park, Dubai. We went there because it was my little brother's birthday 4 days ago (Feb 23) and we went there for his birthday treat.

The theme park is new so there was quite a lot of people there. There are 7 things you can ride on and lots of arcade games. We were allowed to go on 3 things.

We went on the bumper cars twice. My little brother drove the kid's go karts and me and my big brother and his friend drove the adult go karts. I thought that both the rides were good but I prefer the bumper cars because they were just a bit more fun to me and in the go karts I was going fast but it wasn't as fast as I wanted. Then when I was used to that speed they made it go really fast and I kept crashing!

Watch the video and see me crash!



We were going to go on the rollar coaster but we spent our money on our second bumper car ride.

Then we went for lunch. While my mum and dad had lunch we played stuck in the mud.

I had a great time and can't wait till I go again.

Holidays

At school we had 2 days of holiday and I went to my friend's golf lessons and yesterday I went to my mum's golf at Al Badia and we had food at the restaurant. The bathrooms were so fancy they even had a Jacuzzi!
It was great.

Going on a cruise ship (visit)

Today we went to a cruise ship docked in Dubai Port Rashid. The ship is called Costa Luminosa. We were invited to go have lunch and look around the ship.

The ship has 11 decks and 2 sky decks. The cruise ship also had a casino and a kids game area! we went to lunch there and the food was great.
After lunch we went to the 3D movie theatre and we watched a mini movie in 3D. The movie was about a ride through a haunted, abandoned gold mine. It was like a rollercoaster because we were in a wagon that was moving and our chairs kept moving around and water and air was spraying at us. It actually like we going through the gold mine and there was lots of booby traps set in it and stuff kept flying at us.

The big hailstorm

On New Year’s Day we were at home and there was heavy rain in Dubai which then turned into a hailstorm. There was lots of thunder and lightning. The rain was pouring down and one side of the house was flooded outside. We played in the flooded area after the rain stopped.
