I was startled awake by my sister who was running down the hall. Just stop it I thought
as I layed there planning what I would like to do today. When I finally pryed myself out
of my soft fluffy blue comforter, I asked what is our great plans for today. Mom says
that we were heading up north at noon to our nice neighbors cottage. There will be a enormous
lake up there my dad says to me. Well I had better plans like playing on the playstation
three.
We were getting freezing cold bottles of water and snacks. I shouted Prince the cute fluffy
cuddly dog sits on my lap on the way there. Awwwww went my mean sister. After an hour
or so of boredom I let the dog off of my warm lap. One hour later ....Thank goodness were
alive we made it. I saw our neighbor Dan on the sunny deck overlooking the lake.
Dan hollered to us and said you finally made it. Want to go tubing Zak and Erin? Yeah we
yelled. After twenty minutes of the tubes being inflated. We eventually got out on to
the shivering lake. They told us that thumbs up means faster while thumbs down means slower
and a finger across the throat stands for an instant stop. Now we were ready.
Zoom off we went. Erin was happy, I wasn't on the other hand, because we were going extremly
slow. Finally they sped up to a much faster speed like 20 miles an hour. I was bopping
into my sister on the tube
and let me tell you it wasn't gentle. Erin was balling for being nailed by me. In a few
minutes which seemed really fast we went back to shore.
That was my first tube ride ever. It was like nothing that I had ever done before. I will
remember this for a long long time or until I forget.
