On Sunday, after waking up we ate bagels for breakfast and we went to the largest mall of the United States (King of Prussia mall) and we bought some clothes. In the evening, we went to "Terror behind the walls" (a Terror house). There were zombies who tried to scare us. It was very funny because some peopke were screaming a lot but it wasn't that scary.
Finally after the Terror house we went back home.
