This morning I woke up early. I got up went out side went for a swim in the snow drift out side my window. I came in sat by the fire and warmed up for a bit, read the paper and ate breakfast. Once it around 7am and no one else was up I went down into my room looked through my closet for a big air horn. Once I found the big air horn I went and found a hiding spot in the house. Once I found a good hiding spot where I hoped no one would be able to find me, I plugged my ears and pressed the green button and the horn (as loud as a ships horn) went off. A minute later I heard the sound of things breaking and the unmistakable sound of my sister being rudely awaken. She came stomping up the stairs yelling CONNOR! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT WHEN I FIND YOU YOU WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE! While she was stomping around the house making the hole house rattle, I was up in my little hiding spot trying to suppress the giggles and keep from being found. I sat there looking through my little peep hole and when I watched her walk into the next room I climbed down. Just as I got to the floor I heard Rowan roar THERE YOU ARE! She and I looked eye and eye for a few brief moments before I took off scurrying down the hall. I took a corner and slipped I slid half way across the room.
I hurried back to my feet just as she came flying into the room. I dodged her flying leap. I hurried into the next room while she got back on her feet. The next room I went into was a room full of mirrors. I carefully made my way through the maze of mirrors. Just as I was getting about half way through the maze Rowan entered the room and started making her way through the maze; But as we got further and further into the maze I became less and less sure of which was the real Rowan and which was a reflection. After about a half an hour in the maze I finally made it out. I scurried out of that room and into the next one because I knew Rowan would not be far behind.
I went into the next room which was had an opstical course in it. I ran jumped off a mini trampoline and grabbed a hanging rope just as Rowan came running into the room. I started climbing the rope while Rowan ran over to another mini trampoline and jumped and grabbed onto swinging monkey bars. I climbed to the top of the rope and started walking along a tight rope that was about 20 feet off the floor. As I walked down the rope Rowan kept pace with me on the monkey bars. Once she got to the end of the monkey bars she went onto a balance beam which went over a big swimming pool. Once we got to the end of tight rope and the balance beam we came down on either side of a training course. We each grabbed a paint ball gun a bunch of paint balls and safety gear then started our why across the training course. We had to hit targets dodge swinging logs not to mention dodge the paint balls that the other person was shooting at you when they weren’t dodging logs or shooting target them selves. Once I got to the other side I went through the door and ran into the next room.
The next room was a sparing room. The only things that were in there were mattes. Rowan came in a few seconds later. We looked at each other for a few moments before she came at me and we started resoling and doing a bit of sparring. Once we were done and all tired out Rowan said you don’t need to set off the horn every morning when we run through these rooms and do the courses that are in them. I said I know, it’s more fun to start the morning off was a bang or a horn in this case though, we laughed. A few minutes later the door opened and dad said good I’m glad you two are done because it’s time to eat lunch. Rowan said good because I’m starving. That’s right you didn’t eat breakfast did you. No I didn’t because some one woke me up by using an air horn, we laughed. Then went and had lunch.
