My birthday was September 14,2007 so the day before that I was wondering what was going to happen. On Friday I was so happy because now I was 15 years old and know I was a big man. After school I rushed home to see what I was going to be doing with my dad. I came through the door and the phone rang. I picked it up and said hello my dad told me to get ready because he was about to take me to buy my new shoes. As soon as he got home we went to Bond Street Foot locker and I chose my shoes they were orange,Grey, and white. While walking I asked to go subway and we went. I ate a very big sandwich and a cookie and drink with a big bag of chips. After we ate we went home. My house was really quiet when we got home. 5 minutes passed while I was in the house I walked into the living room and SURPRISE there was my chocolate cake with words on it that read happy birthday Zack.

I felt happy and shy because I didn’t expect it they had got me. We took several pictures with me and my cake before we ate the whole thing me and my cousins. At 12:00 my dad told me to go to sleep so that I wouldn’t be tired for what we were going to do on Saturday. In the morning I was up up first and I took my shower then I asked my dad how should I be dressing for where were going. He said to just be comfortable so I put on track suit bottoms and a white t-shirt and went to the door. My dad didn’t have his usual car he had a truck now. First we went to pick up my three cousins then we headed to our destination. before we got there I asked my dad where we were going and he said that I would see in a second 1 sec after he said that we arrived at a paint ball place.

We walked to the counter and they gave us our army suits and our masks it was the best. At the start of the shooting missions when you got shot it hurt really bad it almost made me cry but it was super fun and I wish we could’ve stayed all day. Something funny happened when we were done my dad came but before I noticed him I started to swear and he heard me but I didn’t get in trouble because it was still my birthday weekend. When we started home we all showed my dad our bruises from the guns and such. When we got home my cousins stayed and played all of my games and we just had fun. on Sunday I thought nothing was going to happen but when I got up I went into the living room and SURPRISE this time I almost fell it was another but not an ordinary one. It had my face and my favorite rappers face printed on it with icing. Now i knew that this was definetly my best birthday ever.

It all started on Thursday when my dad told me it was my uncles birthday on Saturday. After he told me that I called my uncle and asked him if he could come over on Friday so we could watch a movie for his birthday and he said yes. The next day I got ready for him i picked my movie and waited. When he got there I immediately put the movie on and we watched it. We saw a movie called the Departed it was really good it was a mystery but we had fun figuring it out. By the time the movie was over I was half sleep and so was he. He left at about 12:00. what he didn’t know was that his surprise party was tomorrow and that my dad had something special planned for him. In the morning my dad told us that we were going somewhere today for my uncle that we were not aloud to tell him what we were doing.

My dad came in the room and told us to get ready so we did. An hour later my dads friend came to pick us up because my dads Bentley was not big enough. We went to my grannys house to get my uncle I went in to get him and we started on our journey to the special place. First we got on the the train and then we walked to where we were going. After about 8 minutes walking I realized what my dad had planned. We had all come to a kung fu masters show. When my uncle saw this his face lit up like a light bulb he was happy.

The kung fu masters were shoalin monks who did flips martial arts and things that would make your jaw drop. When it was time to go my uncle was still smiling and that made all of us feel good.  On the way to my granny’s my uncle thought that was it and is what time to go home. about ten minutes went by and we were here. i knocked on the door and he walked in the living room and everyone said ” SURPRISE ” he was excited. when the party was over we went home and that was my uncle Jeremy’s Birthday
