Gaming at Uncle Bill's.

On the weekend I went to Uncle Bill’s.  I  jumped in my car with dad.  When we got to Uncle Bill’s house I jumped out of the car and said “hello” to Uncle Bill.  Then I went to go inside.  I played Call of Duty 1 with Tim and Sonny.  I like gaming.  They say I’m a game freak because I like playing games.  

When I was playing against Tim and Sonny I won.  We killed all the baddies.  We made it to another level. It was exciting.  I was saying “go, go, go”. I didn’t know where Tim was.  I was trying to find him, but he found me first and shot me with a sniper gun.  I was annoyed!  Sonny found him and shot him though.  It’s just a game.  It’s not for real...

We played games all day.  There was this skateboard game called Skate 3.  You get points by doing heaps of tricks.  We also played MX vs ATV.  It’s a motorbike game.  I found the sand dune level the hardest.

I ended up staying at Tim’s house.   Tim and Sonny got up at 4 0’clock and I got up at 6 o’ Clock.  We started playing the game again.
