As we setup our beds underneath the kowhaiwhai my heart thumped with excitement. It had been a busy day with lots of fun activities and now it was nearly the end.
Parents started to arrive and everyone lined up outside the wharenui. It was time for the display night.

First up was the Nui kapa haka. We sang songs, swung our poi and the boys did the haka. Jump jam was up next. We danced to "Captain Jack." All the ukulele groups performed then all the parents left. Now it was time for what I was most excited for; the sleepover.
The lights switched off and everyone snuggled into bed. Bonnie and I shared a single mattress. It was really small. We talked until midnight than waked up early the next morning to someone snoring.
The marae trip was a great experience. I learnt lots traditional games and even learned a new song.
It was a lot of fun!
