On Saturday the 19th of November, my sister, cousin, mum and I went to the mall to buy some clothes for church. We went there in my mum's red Suzuki.  

After we arrived we went straight to the Warehouse to buy some clothes for my cousin because she was staying over at our house that night. While my mum and my cousin was walking around, my sister and I looked for some decorations that we could put in our own room. I didn't find anything because the decorations that they had didn't match the theme of my room so I bought three ripped pair of jeans instead.

We all got the Victoria secret perfumes. My mum  bought two black and white cushions to put on our wooden chairs that are on our back deck.

Later on, we were all feeling very hungry so we drove to a nearby McDonald's because the McDonald's in the mall was packed with people. I got a medium quarter pounder with an L&P drink, my sister and my cousin got a big mac combo and my mum got some chilli fries with a legend burger and she also got a flat white.

After a while, my sister decided to go and buy some dunkin donuts and sushi for my brother because he is a sushi lover. My mum gave her the key to her car so she could put the food inside the car while we ate our food. Afterwards, my cousin and I played hide and seek in the park and I won. Soon, my mum called us in so we could go home and take a shower.

My mum drove us home and we got our church clothes ready for the next day. We all took turns having a shower. After we were all clean we watched a movie and ate some donuts before we dozed off to sleep.


My favourite part was when we went to McDonald's because I was very hungry and the food was very delicious.
