Playdate with Daniel

Yesterday I had a playdate with Daniel. My favorite game was one we called “Shooting Range”. We took my set of Speed Stacks Cups, and took turns stacking them up in different patterns and then shooting them down. We invented many patterns that had never been seen before, and had a lot of fun shooting them. I took off the timer to prevent the damaging of the cups. After a while, we decided to make it more interesting. We added snowballs, and made up stories. One of my favorites was “Old-time School Field Trip”. Anguished the snowball sat on a cup chair with a “dunce” cup (we imagined that it said “dunce”) on his head, while Ms. Optimistic the snowball was a teacher, teaching the other two snowballs, Surprised and Happy. To sum up, we had a fantastic time yesterday!

My Cool Dream

Playdate with Kevin

Yesterday I had a playdate with Kevin, my friend. First, we played Ping-Pong. He is a pretty good player, but I was pretty good, too. We were about as good as each other. I couldn't seem to beat him, and he couldn't seem to beat me. After that, we played Air Hockey. I wasn't as good as him – the score was 7-5 or 7-6. He won. Later, we played with Speed Stacks and Snap Circuits. He wasn't as good as me with the Cycle (I got 25.19), but he was a lot better at the other things. He could get under 5 seconds in the 3-3-3, while I couldn't get under 6. He was faster at 3s than me, mostly. We made a flying saucer with the Snap Circuits, and then made an alarm called the “Quiet Water Alarm”. We didn't have a glass of water, so I just told him to connect the wires. He didn't see how it worked, but then realized that water is a conductor, and putting the wires in water is the same as connecting them. Finally, we played Wii Play for a while. He was a lot better than me at that. He won way more times (probably because my remote’s battery was dead). All in all, we had an exciting playdate yesterday!
