My Spring Break

Author's note: I couldn't think of anything to write about so I decided to write about my spring break.

My spring break was not spent sitting around on the couch. I went to Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Illinois.  We saw the Gateway Arch, Mammoth Cave, the St.Louis City Museum, and the Lincoln Museum. The City museum, was the most awesome museum EVER! 


If the school had a field trip to the City Museum that would be awesome. People would say “OH MY GOSH,THIS IS SWEET!” We would all climb around in the tubes and stuff. But we really wouldn’t learn much. So we first went outside and ran around in this area with poles and little thin platforms that were kind of dangerous. Then, we went inside ate and then played around inside in some other area. My dad said two things while we were there that stood out to me: One, This should be called the “City Playground”. Two, What if the safety inspector came here.


The Gateway Arch is taller than the statue of liberty at 635 ft. tall. They have to pump air to the top because of the altitude. We went up in little pods that held five people each, and we rode to the top. The pods had to shift every once in a while to keep them level, so every 10 seconds the pod would turn. We saw some great views from the top, and we could see our hotel that was about seven blocks down the road. It was amazing.

Mammoth Cave really is mammoth size. The main room in the cave is about 100 ft or something like that. There were two funny parts you went through. They where Tall Mans Misery and Fat Mans Misery. Tall Mans Misery was a section you had to go through and it was only 2.5 ft tall! Fat mans misery was an area that was only 1 ft wide and it went on for about 50 ft. It is a good thing that it only went up to my waist.


Lastly I went to the Lincoln Museum. It was a pretty interesting place they had Abe Lincoln’s gloves that he was wearing when he was shot. We also saw this one play were these ghost-looking people would appear on stage and then they would disappear without smoke or anything they would just fade. It was the most interesting play I’ve ever seen.


A few bad things happened over the break, one was that on the way home I got a stomach ache that lasted until Wednesday that week. Then finally on Thursday I came to school and I caught up with some work and eventually I was fine. Another bad thing was that spring break was over.

Duct Tape Battle 2- Cardboard Attack

Author's note: Some people wanted to know who this "enemy" was and they had requested that I make a second story, so here you go I hope you enjoy it.

It was a year since the last time that Niko’s enemy attacked. He had for gotten about them and was prepared for another attack he stocked up on cardboard boxes and tape and had made a set of cardboard armor. He was prepared for anything, or so he thought.


It was June and the birds where chirping but strangely no one was outside. He was about to go in and call his friend to see if he wanted to come over when he saw his enemy walking down the street, they where wearing jeans with a strangely bulky dress shirt with blue and white stripes. they where also wearing what looked like a cardboard roman helmet they also where carrying a vibrant red flag which happens to be a sign of war in Rome. He came up to the driveway and stopped. 


“Hey --” Niko paused. He forgot his enemy’s name. He Felt like a fool. Who forgets their enemy’s name! He walked down to the driveway and asked “What are you doing here.” “I am here to prove that I am better than you.” “Ha, Yeah right!” Niko replied. With that his enemy left and went down the street. Now to find out who this enemy of his was.


Niko went up to his room and looked in his year book and it turns out that his name is Stewart Pid. (Ha ha, Stew Pid). He looked out his window and saw Stewart out at his driveway again. What does he want now.


Niko went outside again and asked him and he said that he was going to “destroy” Niko. Niko said try. Stew pulled off his shirt and under it he was wearing a cardboard armor vest. He pulled out a cardboard sword and swung it. Niko sidestepped and the attack missed. Niko used a new move he made up. He spun so his back was facing his side, put his right leg behind Stew’s and elbowed Stew in the chest. Stew then tripped over Niko’s foot and fell on his butt. Stew, filled with rage jumped up and ran at Niko. Niko was tackled and fell over. Niko pushed Stew aside and grabbed his cardboard sword.



Niko started swinging at Stew. (Just close enough that he would flinch back.) Eventualy stew was at the end of the drive way. Stew tripped over the curb and fell into the street. Stew got up and ran home saying: “I’ll be back!”. But Stew Pid (Ha ha Stew Pid) never bothered Niko for the rest of the summer.
