The Crazy Maori Warriors!!

Last night I went to visit the Maori tribe.  My Dad was nominated  as the chief with another person named Nick.  The Maori's did a weird dance with their spears.  They had tattoos all over their face!  I got to hold a spear and take a picture with them.  They would open their eyes big and wide and they would stick their tongue out to intimidate their enemies.  It was a ceremony and they did really cool dances and they would throw sticks to other tribe members and then they would throw them back.

Me and Julian with Maori Warriors!

The girls had soft balls on string that they would twirl, throw and catch and they made noise.   Our food was cooked in the ground, and my Dad dug our food out of the ground and we ate it.  They dug it out of dirt with cloths over it.  I ate sweet potatoes and chicken, I also ate  New Zealand green lipped mussels and then I had dessert.  Dessert was fruit salad with cake and potatoes.  I fell asleep on my Dad's lap and he carried me all the way home.  I think it would be cool to be a Maori because they get tattoos all over their face and they get to carve their spears any way they wanted.
