Going to the Esplanade with my Grandparents.

One afternoon in 2010 my mum got a call saying that my grandparents wanted to take us to the Esplanade. Mum told us and we all said we would love to go.

Madi Ash and I started to head off to the Esplanade. I was really excited because they always make it lots of fun. When we arrived my mum dropped us off once we had seen my nana and granddad.

We walked around the Esplanade and after we had some delicious food from the cafe I felt spoilt. Nana is always really generous. She often buys us treats.

Later my mum and dad came and picked us up and when we got back home we carried on with our day. Just before I told mum how they spoilt us and she laughed and laughed and turned out the light.
