A special time with my friend.

A special time with my Buddy.

A special time with my best friend Autumn and I.  

We celebrated her birthday in the weekend and she was really really excited because it was her birthday. We went to the swimming  pool's, Hoyt's and lastly we went to rainbow's end. When we went to Rainbow's end my best friend and I went on the rides. The ride that I hated most was the stratosphere. It was so scary when it turned up side down for a few seconds and it was scary because you were slipping out of you chair. The other ride that I didn't like was the invader because when you go up it goes high and feels like you are going to fall off. Autumn told me that she had the best birthday she ever had and she was happy and I really love my best buddy.

Guess What i have done in the Holidays is that we went to the  swimming pool’s with my family  After that we went home for dinner and what we had was popcorn,chips,cookies,ice cream and condos.

First we went to the movie’s with my Mum and Dad, what we watched in the movie was the maze runner the people that worked their turned off the lights and we started to watch it.

After that when the movie was finished me and my family went back home because my Brother wanted to go home so we went home to drop him  back home.

Later on my unity was still driving on the car so that  my brother can go home. My brother remember that he has a sister at home and he really miss her sister and he want to so wanted to go home.
