Recount - Tamaki Pool Picnic Day
Tamaki Pool Picnic Day
During lunch time everyone started exiting the pool to wait in the big queue for the sausage sizzle. While they were waiting, I sat down near the water park and ate my food from my bag. Everyone from school had to sit down and eat their sausages, which lead me no choice but to wait until they were finished eating. The scent of the sausages cooking was mouthwatering.
I sat there in the car, waiting for my mum to put my baby brother into the pram. We slowly made our way into the rest rooms, I waited patiently while my mum got changed into her swimwear. I could hear our school splashing and screaming while we were heading to the outside pools, while I was walking I saw teachers and caregivers chatting and laughing together.
My mum and I had already decided that we would sit near the water park.
My brother crawled as quickly as he could to get to the waterpark, while my mum was a few steps behind. His expression was breath taking, he looked incredibly amazed as he lay his hand above the water pads. The hot air was in every corner, burning everyones feet as they stomped on the concrete.
I scanned the pool looking for my friend, but before I knew it, she found me. We both splashed our feet into the water, the whole place was filled with laughter. Shantai and I both started taking photo’s of the event, we went around areas that people were mostly hanging around. The smell of chlorine was everywhere.

After my friends were finished, we went near the deep end of the pools and sat on the edge. All of us were throwing things and trying to push each other into the water. The expression on my friends faces looked so delighted. The sun reflected into the crystal clear water and sparkled into my eyes as if it was a mirror.
It was so soon before the school had to leave, when it was time, there was a large amount of people heading into the same direction at the same time. Others, stood around and waited for people to move. Later on, when it was less crowded me and my mum walked over to the car and packed our things away, before we knew it, we had already left and were on our way home.
