That Unforgettable Day

     Have you ever had that day that you know that you will never forget? Well, for me that was an amazing snow day in the winter of third grade. I went to private school from kindergarten to eighth grade, so we never got days off from school. Winter was our time to hope just like the kids from any school. Every kid has their own "superstitions" on how to get a snow day for sure. Some people put ice on their windowsill, others flush ice down the toilet, and other people even do something as simple as putting a white crayon on the windowsill and hoping for the best. Well, our way of getting a snow day was to wear our pajamas inside out. It seemed to work almost every time, so we continued to do it until sixth grade. That day little did we know how much it would pay off.

     The next day everyone was glued to the television, checking the news every five minutes while getting ready for school. When I was about to leave the house I heard a faint yell from the living room, "Justin! Where are you going? You don't have to go to school today." Was I happy? Try a grin from one side of my face to the other! As soon as I found out I called my friend Mitchell. I talked with him for a while and we came to the conclusion that I should spend the day at his house.

     When I got to his house we ran straight to the computer, YouTube marathon! Right when I thought that it couldn't get any better we decided to go outside. It was just after the snowplows cleared the roads and there was a huge snow pile right next to his house. The first thing that Mitchell said was, "Let's make a fort!" The attempt at the fort snowballed out of control, so we decided to make a tunnel that went all the way through the pile of snow. Although it took a few hours it was still well worth it. Later we went inside for hot chocolate and snacks. Now you know about my unforgettable snow day, what's yours?
