Lake Mountain

On Saturday the 26th of July, I went to Lake Mountain with my parents and my brother. It was my second time to touch snow and it was SO fun. When we arrived we arrived it was SO foggy you can't really see anything and its all white but my dad managed to drive safely because there was a yellow line we could follow on the road that leads to the main location. So first we hired some toboggans (for all of us) and unfortunately, the guy that worked there gave us 3 purple toboggans and 1 pink one. My dad wanted to switch the pink to a purple one but the guy already wrote down which toboggans we had. Next, we went to the hill for the tobogganing thing and all four of us tobogganed at the same time, it was really fun and FYI, I used the purple toboggan.

THE UNLUCKY TOBOGGAN
My mum decided to stay at the bottom of the hill so she can take some photos. So my dad did too and unfortunately I had to take the PINK toboggan for the next "slide". Guess what happened? My toboggan was going too fast and I tried to stop it with my hands and my feet and it was out of control so it steered itself to the left side of the hill and some kid was pulling his toboggan to the top go the hill on the left side (THIS IS WRONG BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE TOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HILL WHERE IT IS LESS SLIPPERY) and then.... my left cheek crashed to his toboggan. It was really sore. I said sorry and that kid didn't even say anything...(who is meant to say sorry?) So he was a bit rude in my opinion (no offence). After that, I stood up and dragged the PINK toboggan to where my mum was standing. She didn't notice that I had tears in my eyes and FYI, I didn't cry. Ok, continuing.. later on that day my mum, my brother and I were on top of the hill, positioning to slide. I was standing up and I positioned the PINK toboggan and as I was about to sit down on the PINK toboggan, some guy that was behind us was already sliding and he pretty much crashed onto me and it did hurt a bit. That time my mum noticed. Well the guy did say sorry but my questions are IS HE BLIND OR SOMETHING? AND IF HE WASN'T BLIND, DIDNT HE SEE ME? And you might be thinking its because of the fog, but the fog only covered things about 4 metres away. My mum kind of panicked that time and she said "Are you okay?" and I said "Yeah". My mum asked that question about 3 times and I had to say Yeah 3 times. A few slides after that my mum was about to go on the hill my my brother and I and my dad wanted to take some pictures so us three were going to go up but when my mum was about to drag the PINK toboggan some guy who was going extremely fast crashed my mum (and also we were standing on the left side and no, we were not going up the hill on the left side, we were standing at the bottom left side of the hill) and my mum fell down and hurt her hips. And the kid with the toboggan stopped and said "Sorry". 5 seconds later the kid's dad came and saw my mum on the ground and said "Are you okay?" and my mum said "No, I am not okay". Oh yeah, and my dad also tried to make my mum feel better by patting her back and my brother and I also was saying "Are you alright". The kid's dad said "Which part hurts?" and my mum said "My hips hurt". And then my mum stood up and they just left which was pretty rude too. 
SO THAT IS THE STORY OF THE  UNLUCKY TOBOGGAN AND BELIEVE ME, IT IS A TRUE STORY!

THE SNOWMAN VILLAGE
So after that, we went to the "SNOWMAN VILLAGE" which is basically a place where you are free to build snowmen or snowmans or something (I'm pretty sure its snowmen, right?). So there was a family who was done with their snowman and the children literally killed their own snowman right after they built it; LITERALLY. The children took of its head and LITERALLY threw it on the ground turning it into a million snowflakes. I witnessed the murder scene with my OWN EYES. No, I'm kidding, it's just a snowman, but they did LITERALLY throw the snowman's head on the ground. Only the body was left. So we used the snowman's body to make a different snowman (we are snowman doctors, did you know that? Heheh, the pro is probably my dad, heheheh) and we built a new head (HALLELUJAH! THE SNOWMAN IS GOING TO LIVE! Heheheheh...) and fortunately, we made the HEAD! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY! So then we put the head on its body and it looked cool! The good thing is that they actually provided an actual carrot to make the nose which was pretty kawaii (cute). We also got some rocks and put it on the chest for buttons. The other kawaii thing that we did was that we had a spare beanie that we brought along and we put it on he snowman's head. My brother also volunteered to lend the scarf to the snowman. So then we took pictures with the snowman and yeah. And then we took our beanie and the scarf and left out snowman there. Some other children who were strangers to us liked it. And at least we didn't kill the snowman (heheheheheh).

LUNCH
Next, when we left the Snowman Village, we headed for the restaurant. I have to say it WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE. Pretty much all the tables were taken and some people sat on the heater that was kind of set like a bench by the windows and they didn't get a table either. So first, when my mum was queuing for the food, my brother, my dad and I sat on the heater-bench thing... well technically my dad was just standing up. But a few minutes later, someone was done with their meal and was cleaning the table and scraping off crumbs off the table and finally (#sings# HALLELUJAH #sings#) we got ourselves a table.. YAAAAYY! Then the food came. Before that I ordered chicken nuggets and potato chips. My mum and my brother chose (the original) fish and chips and my dad chose chicken (with the bones) and chips. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST CHICKEN NUGGETS I HAVE EVER EATEN, EVER! The chips were okay. It just needed a little more salt. I asked my mum for salt but she couldn't be bothered since the place WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE. I didn't really mind, although I didn't finish EVERY chip because firstly, I was so full and secondly, it needed more salt (but my mum couldn't be bothered to take salt coz the place WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE, like I said before). But other than the salt problem, it was DELICIOUS.

PICTURES & PHOTOS
So lastly, we took final pictures in the snow (oh and we also went to the bathroom) and then it was time to go. When we got to the car, I INSTANTLY took my boots off because the boots were SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO tight and it felt like I was going to get a blister and I took my gloves off and tried to warm my hand.
