We just finished Chapter One of what looks to be a really interesting read. It’s call Night of the Twisters and it is a pretty amazing book. In the first chapter the author introduces us to the idea of Red and Black Letter days. A Red Letter day is a really good day, one you get great news or do something special. A black letter day is just the opposite. Hopefully you will have many more Red Letter days than black.
I asked everyone to hit the comment button and share a Red Letter Day. When your done reading you can hit the comment button and share yours.

So we went to George’s work and picked him up. George drove us to Joe Louse arena. It was free and we got to go to the Red Wings game! We got to sit in a suite. We got free foods and drinks and a GREAT view of the game!!! That was my red letter day!
Over Spring break I went to Sea World it was awesome. I wit with my brother Michael, my mom and dad.
First we went to the whale performance it was sweet. The whale did a back flip out of no were. Then they showed us all the flips and tricks they said very whale is diffident bet, all of them have in common is they make a big splash!!!! The people in the front row got soaked
but, good thing I was up so munch I didn’t get wet. Yes!
After we went to the Arctic, we went in the line when we got in we saw sea otters and more. Then we went to touch the sting ray it felt like a mushroom.
This was my favorite going on the ride we got in this cart then we when we went up really high then we went down swoosh the water went in my face. That what I did fo rmy spring break
Today I got to hold my brand new baby cousin. She is only 19 inches long, ( I know what your going to say ” She is little”). And she was born on Easter Day!!! I couldn’t wait to see her I was so happy.
The next day we went to my cousin house and I got to hold her. First I was scared to hold her. But then everyone else started to hold her then I finally got to hold her twice. And I called her my baby doll because she was about as big as one.
Finally we had to leave I was sad I didn’t want to leave. But I knew I would see her again.
Beep! Beep! Taxi! Oh hay ,gess what I’m in NEW YORK!!!! I had the best red letter day in the world, last sping. First me, my mom, lexi (my sort of cousen), and my Aunt DeDe(my sort of aunt) got off the plane and went to our hotel in TIME SQUARE!!! It was sssoooooo bright no wonder New York never sleeps “ture off the lights and be quiet!!!!” is what I wanted to say at night but we’re not there yet. In about three days we went to the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, broadway twice, McDonalde for breakfast 3 times, the worlds biggest Olive Garden and the world’s BIGGEST Apple Bees too, saw the Statue of Liberty, and much much more!!!!! Supriseingly (not really) our flight was canceled!!! So we sleept at Lexi’s Grandma’s house in Round Island for three days!!! But I got to swim so all was good!!! I had a blast!!!!!! Wait a VERY BIG BIG BLAST!!!!!!!!!! Bye.
My Red Letter day was when I went to a home Red Wings game. Here’s the story.
The reason why I went to the hockey game is because my dad got free tickets. I went with my mom, dad, and my brother. At the beginning of the game someone came out and threw a octopus on the ice! I thought it was so funny that they actually threw a octopus on the ice. I saw a fight, and I saw myself on TV. I was only 14 rows behind the Red Wings bench. I can literally see them sweat. That isn’t true, but I did see them drinking the water from the water bottles.
Finally the game was over, the Red Wings won 4 to 3 that is soooooo awesome. Well that is the end of my story. Bye!
Last weekend I went to Disney world at Florida I stayed at Coronado springs hotel it is Mexican themed. At Coronado Springs there is a big pool and a awesome water slide it is my fvirote hotel.
Me my grandma,sister, and mom went, we had a great time.
My favirote park is Magic Kingdom, which is the park that has the castle.
The first park we went to is Magic Kingdom. My favirote rides are The Pirates of the Caribean, Splash Moutain, and the buzz lighter ride

“Lights!Camera!Action!” Wait! I have to tell the story of the play.”owww!” Bye know to the story.First, let me tell you who was there my mom,dad,other parents and my class mates. It was last year in fourth grade.I had a lot of lines so I was nerves. Finally, I went up on stage and I did great.I felt happy and the nervelessness went a way. I probably if I tried could remember every line. Well that was my red letter day now whats yours?
Wow! I’ve had so many red letter days its hard to choose. But if I had to pick one just one I would pick when my niece Ryanne was born. We were all in the waiting room waiting and waiting. When the lady came in through the door and said the baby wouldn’t come out! So they had to do a C-section. So we had to wait two more hours! So we waited and waited again. Until the lady came back out and said” Its a girl.” so we came in and there was a cute tiny little baby in my Sister Hilary’s arms. I got to hold that little bundle of joy. I was so happy I was finally an aunt and I thought you had to be a lot older to be a aunt. Well that was my red-letter day.
Mr.Alvaro asked us to write one of the coolest thing that ever happened to you. One of the coolest was when Mr.A’s class and I were outside in the afternoon doing an experiment. The experiment was. Can you make a geyser using mentoes and diet cola? So we did it. When Mr.a put the mentoes in KABOOM we made a geyser .That’s why I picked this one.
Over spring break we went to lookout mountain Tennessee. We drove to the top of the mountain , and a train took us through the whole mountain and back up.On the way down we seen a lot of mansion’s. The bad part about it my ears were popping every 2 seconds. While we were at the top of the mountain we were able to see seven different states they were Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia. That was a very fun vacation and I wish I could go there again.
My red letter day is when my dad taught me how to shoot a bow my brother already knew how and was shooting at the target.I wanted to learn because it looked like so much fun. There are so many different kind of arrows there is rock ones and hunting ones that once they go into the skin they have hooks so it doesn’t fall out.ANYWAY back to the story first he taught me the stance then he showed me how to grab an arrow and shoot it you put two fingers on top of the arrow and one on the bottom.Then,you pull back the arrow to your ear as long as it doesn’t fall out of the slot that helps you aim then let go and see how far it goes it is so much fun after you get the hang of itf. That is way that was my red letter day.
I had a red letter day when I visited my cousin in Europe. It was awesome.
My cousins names are Mustafa, Rend, and Humoode. We call Humoode Mo. I also visited my Aunt Soha.I went to visit them during spring break 2010 in April. I missed 1 week of school. It gets even better. Then a volcano erupted in Iceland. OK you might think that was bad, but then the smoke came all the way to Europe. That sounds bad, but the good news is that it didn’t affect our flight and we didn’t have to go on a deadly boat to get back. YAY!!!! I loved that red letter day, because I didn’t have to go on a deadly boat back. YAY!!! :):);););):):)
One of my red letter day’s is when I went on a field trip to smokelerville! My whole class and I went there! We went there to have fun! We had to dress up like in the 1800′s and act like it was the 1800′s! When we got there we made candles and bracelets! We were in groups of four your group had to survive 2 years, you had to find a piece of food for each person in your group and you had to trade food too! My favorite part was when we got to shoot a bow and arrow! After that we had to go to the school room and give the teacher all the food and material we found to see who survived both years! Guess what …..WE WON! So that was my one of my red letter days what is yours?
One day in August me my dad and my brother went to Ceder Point let me tell you all about it.
When we where at Ceder Point I had to go on the corkscrew did you know that it goes upside down six times. I had to be in the front row. It was really scary.
We came to Ceder Point because school was going to start soon and I had to go. So we went and I thought that I would not like Ceder Point but I did. That is my best red letter day I ever had!!!!!!!!!!
My red letter day was when my mom took my friend and I to the water park! The water park we went to was the Red Oak Water Park. We had so much fun! We went on the Wave Pool and the other stuff but my favorite water water ride was the wave pool! I liked it when we went, we went because it was really hot and we were really board! We went last summer in July. I had so much fun!
My red letter day was when I went to Cedar Point! It was awesome! My whole family went and my brother took his best friend Zack with him. When we were there my whole family went on the log ride. Its where you get in a boat and you float down a river and then you turn and you get plunged by a waterfall. I was the first one to get wet. I laughed so hard. After that we went on other fun roller coasters like the Mine Ride and the Freak Out! We went to have some fun! We left the house at 6:00 in the morning on a Saturday, in the month of September. Well that’s my red letter day!
My red letter day is when me and my dad went fishing.The first 5-10 minutes me and my dad caught sunfish.And that day I learned a great fishing trick,cast in the shadows.That day altogether we caught 17 fish in one hour!!That was my red letter day what is yours.
my Uncle Drew and I whent to Ceader Point last summer. We went because it sonded fun, and it was are brake. We rode a bunch of scrary, fun, and wet rids like Snake River Falls, the Mavrick, the Rapter, and the Wiked twster.It was fun and I hope you get to go to.
Water! I need water! Were the first words I said after my first 5K.
I know what your thinking ” What’s a 5K?” Well, it’s a 3 mile run. This is how you do it, you run or walk a mile lap 3 times or just 1 lap 3 miles long.
I did it with my step mom and step sister, at a camp ground in Milford, in the month of June, 2011, and I did it because I LOVE to run.
My red letter day was when I got my gerbils. It was the morning and we were going to a party. But, first we stoped at Kee’s Pet Store. We were looking around. We saw lots of foreign fish, we heard screeching birds, saw a weesle sleeping, and saw chubby hamsters. Then finally we saw gerbils! I looked at all of them. I picked a black/white one and a black one. I named them Han and Luke. I brought them home with me and to this day they live in my room.
My red letter day is easter. I woke up second (my dad was first). I was so excited when I saw 6 Skylanders, lego sets, books, and a shirt. Then I played skylanders all day. That is my red letter day.
Hopefully you will have many more Red Letter days than black.
