Day 4

In the morning we just sat around relaxing, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to capture the house that i'm staying in as well as my friends two dogs. They have a black one called "Chippy" and a white and grey one called "Roxy". They are part of the family so I decided to capture them too.

For lunch we went for Ice cream. They scoop out your ice cream and mix what ever extras, like nuts, different candy/sweets, fruit, sauces etc that you wish, for example I had the Apple Cinnamon pie, so they scooped out some Vanilla ice cream put it on an ice cold slab, added apples with apple sauce, broken biscuit and Cinnamon then mixed it all together. The owner of the shop saw my camera and ask about me, he then said get a picture of this and threw a scoop of ice cream up in the air and caught in a container.

Later that day we went having a look around the shops again. We went to KMart, TJMax and the Dollar Store. In the evening we went to Oxford Village where my friend drove me around the local areas so that I could capture the typical American looking houses. The Americans are so patriotic, most of them having American flags hanging outside their houses.

As we were having a drive around the houses we came across a little league baseball match, so I had to get a closer look and get some images. I couldn't get to close because it was surrounded by parents and fences.

We then went for some dinner at a sports bar. The sports bar was across from a little cinema and a cow boy, country shop that I had to capture

The cowboy shop, where everything is cowboy products for example toy pistols, horses, cowboy hats and boots, horse tackle etc.
