Me and My Friend

By Sam

     My friend’s name is Mira. I went to the Sky Zone with Mira. I went to play dodgeball with her, and played basketball with her. Then we went to the rope swing. Also, we went rock climbing. I learned how to do rock climbing, but I cannot go more than my brother. I think Mira can go up more than me. My brother is like the master at rock climbing. Then I went with Mira on the ropes. Then I ate the cotton candy with her.  Then it became night time. Finally, me and my friend Mira went home to eat and sleep.
