First, I went to the bowling alley on Saturday. "The bowling alley was big." Carlie giggled. And my dad yelled, "Carlie quit it!."

Next, I got shoes and went to the arcade and played some games and they were fun. "These games are awesome," I grinned. 

Then, we came back and it was ready and we ate a shake and started to play. I got a strike on my first try and my mom and dad replied, "Good Job."

Then, we were done and we played more games and got prizes and I got a 3ds and ipod and a new basketball because mine broke. And the games I got on the i pod were there's minecraft, skylander, swamp frog, sonic adventure. 

Last, we ate pizza and went home and went to bed and went home and went to bed an my mom said I could play on my ipod for a little while and I only had time to games and play one game. "And that game was fun," I replied.
