LEGO Ninjago: Messed up badly

When I got LEGO Ninjago, I asked my dad if he wanted to play. He said yes and I set it up. We played with me as Kai and him as Frackjaw. After a while he won, and I cleaned up the mess. Later, when I was reading the Quick Play Guide, I saw that I forgot to put a BOTTOM PEICE on it!!!!!!!!!!! I told my dad and he laughed.

LEGO Ninjago: How To Play

This is how you play LEGO Ninjago: Spinjitzu Spinners! First, choose a character, three weapons, and 4 battle cards. Then put a weapon in the guy's hand. Put him in a spinner. Then, players yell "NINJAAAAAAAAAGOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" After someone falls, not both, winner takes weapon held by loser.You can play cards at any time. After the weapons are with 1 player, give weapons back to other player. As long as your guy has enough power to play card, you can. there are power bars on character cards. Some can only be played with a golden weapon. With more than 4 battle cards, you can make a "battle deck". With the deck, you can grab 4 cards. Use them if you can and when you want to. That is how you play LEGO Ninjago: Spinjitzu Spinners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An Auto-Biography

Hi! I'm Hunter and this is my blog! I live with a family of 6. I have a mom and dad. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother.  One of my sisters is a junior in college. My other one is a sophomore in high school. My brother is a senior in high school. I'm a 7th grader in middle school. I'm home schooled. My mom teaches me at home and my brother and sister.


 I like to read LEGO Club Magazines. They have info (and jokes) on new LEGO series. One, for example, is on the new BIONICLE: Hero Factory 2.0. They make BIONICLEs in different series. I know that they make them "stronger" by "upgrading". LEGO Club Magazines come every 2 months. I own about 18 LEGO Club Magazines, so far.

Pearl Harbor Attack December 7th, 1941

 It was a calm Sunday morning when it happened in Pearl Harbor.  Chief Petty Officer John Finn was wondering why gun firing was going on outside. The Japanese were upon them! John grabbed some ammo and a .30 caliber and went to take down some Zeros (Japanese high speed planes). He got injured pretty seriously, but he didn’t give up! After the attack, John went to where he parked his car. There it was without a scratch. John smiled for the first time that day. When he got home, his wife shrieked. 2 times really. Once for the fact that John was alive, then again out of horror. She counted 21 wounds on him. He needed a doctor but went later in the day because of the pain. John was awarded the Medal of Honor for his valiant efforts to stop the Japanese from destroying the small base that was on Pearl Harbor.

Iwo Jima: Jack Lucas

Private First Class Jack Lucas (another Medal of Honor recipient) was on patrol in Iwo Jima when suddenly, 2 grenades landed at his feet. He buried one into the ground with the butt of his rifle and grabbed the other and layed ON TOP of it. They exploded, and Jack went flying. He somehow lived through it. He then realized, while being dragged from the battlefield, that one didn’t explode. Later, he was on a hospital ship when the U.S. flag rose! The U.S. took control of most of the island! The battle to win that section of Iwo Jima was over!

Iwo Jima: James Rudder

Pointe Due Hoc was an important spot on Iwo Jima because it had a steep cliff that could be used to attack distant battle ships. The Germans had it with 6 guns. That is, until Lieutenant Colonel James Rudder (Medal of Honor recipient) came and took it with his Rangers on D-Day (June 6th, 1944). Rudder had 225 men to take Pointe Due Hoc. He had 90 left after the battle. He had been training with them for 2 years. Now on this day, 135 died, some by friendly fire.  Rudder himself was wounded 3 times. He knew their weaknesses and strengths. One German sniper, alone, killed 5 or 6 of Rudder’s men.

World War II: The Battle of Iwo Jima

This battle took place on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima from February 19th 1944 to March 26th 1945. It was a devastating battle between America and Japan. Germany joined this battle later on.

 It was the bloodiest battle in United States Marine Corps history. There were 6,821 Americans dead in the battle. This battle is the scene of the famous flag photograph, shown below. Joe Rosenthal, the photographer, was born on October 9th, 1911. He is not at all famous now, but this picture is because it symbolizes the end of the worst battle in Marines history. The battle terrified those lived through it.
