A Crazy Day With My Crazy Friends

One day my brother London and I were very bored. We decided to go to our best friends’ house. Their names were Christian, my friend, and Mario, London’s friend. They were brother and sister. We loved playing with them and getting into trouble together.


We hung out at their house for a couple of hours. We played video games and wrestled each other. When we got bored with that, we thought it would be a good idea to visit the horses that were down the road. We wanted to pet them, but we were too scared to go through the fence. We finally dared Mario, who was the most daring person I’ve met, to open the gate. He did, and we all started running as fast as we could! We were afraid the horses would sprint out like a stampede.

When we thought we ran far enough, we slowed down laughing our heads off. By then it was dark, and bats were out. London told us if they fly low enough they can get caught in your hair, because they can’t see very well. At that we all started running hysterically. Christian and I kept shooing at our heads to make sure no bats were close.

We ran all the way back to their house. Out of no where it started pouring down rain. Instead of going inside, or back home, we kept on horsing around. We were having so much fun we didn’t want the night to end.
