Holiday Postcard

Dear Cooper,
Me and my family went to Taupo. We went to the snow. My mum throw a snowball at me. The snow was hard. We went to the other side of the mountain where  it was not busy and we went to the water park too. I went gold mining. We were gold panning and we had to wear earmuffs .I had fun. I felt excited there was a shaker. There were freaky dummies. I was at a hot pool. My favourite part of the tripp was the water park.
