My Family’s Big Dinner
When my parents told me that we were going out tonight with nearly our whole family I got so excited that I nearly fell down the stairs. Not just because I get to catch up with my whole family I get a huge yum dinner and a big bowl of dessert. My eyes were about to pop out and it felt like I stubbed all my toes I was so excited.
When we got there there were only three people who had already turned up at the restaurant so we still had to wait for like another 16 people. We didn’t have to wait that long cause about a minute later everyone was piling in like pancakes piling up on a plate. There were still about 4 people to turn up so me and my brother looked out the upstairs window at the restaurant. We were lucky to catch some action 2 minutes later when two men mistakenly drove through the square.
Finally the last of them came in and we were allowed to order our meals. My brother and I ordered a glass of LMP each and a plate of potato chips and calsur each. It took about 10 minutes for our meals to arrive at the dinner table and only 5 for our drinks. We had a good old chat about what we had been up to in the weekend. I had my chips they were good the calsur was okay I only had half because there were vegetables in there that I had never had before and didn’t like.
We had to wait for desert for 40 minutes because we all wanted to talk together so my brother and I asked if we could go down stairs and climb up the enormous tree outside. We dismounted our chairs and ran to the spiral staircase and jump down the stairs in a rush of excitement. Once we got to the double doors we shoved the open and raced to the tree. By the time we got there we were really exhausted we could barely climb the tree so we sat down and had a rest. The sky had shadowed over the square as if a UFO was going to land. The moon was closing in so we thought we better start having some fun before we couldn’t see anything. We climbed up the tree until we got to the highest place we could climb to. We started telling jokes and funny stuff.
We climbed back down when we had nothing to say any more. We walked back into the restaurant and asked our mum when the desert was coming she said in 10 minutes time so we decided to play chinese chopsticks I won nearly about all of the rounds lost a couple but o well not like it’s the olympic games.
Finally the dessert came. I got a bowl of caramel and cookie ice cream topped with rainbow sprinkles placed in front of me. It was really yum and sweet I was full after that.
Time went by and it was almost time to go back home so we all went down stairs one by one, said goodbye and left. What a cracking night it had been I was about to fall asleep in the middle of the road as we cross over. Luckily it was a Saturday.
