The Boating Trip

That summer the wind was heavy and the night was cool. I went on a house boat with my friend's family and my family. It was a humid and a hot day and we were all inside. My friend, Casey and I wanted to go on the blue and white inner tube so they all came along with us. I wanted to feel the wind in my hair. I was all ready to go. Then the cool water started to poor on. Casey and I started screaming "help us!"we hollered. The inner tube was sinking like a submarine. It was too late, we were already under the water. The boat was going at full speed. Casey soon let go, crying. I was still on the inner tube. I thought I was going to die. As I was praying, the inner tube flipped over and it dragged me down. As I felt like my life was ending, I felt the sand drag my fingers. I let go, the water carried me. When I saw the white flag go up, the sound of people filled the air. As I was wailing, Casey's mother and sister came swimming to us. The boat swung around and we jumped on the boat, it felt like I was in a blender as they wrapped the towel around me and the boat drove away to the campground.

At the campground, there were teenagers and kids, even some of the parents. While I was running I stepped right next to a rattle snake, I could feel my heart beating, I did not move. I had in my mind that the nearest hospital was 2 hours away. The snake shook it's rattle. I was scared to death. Then all of a sudden my Dad picked me up so fast that I screamed. I was so glad that the snake didn't hurt me.

Later that day we were roasting marshmallows. The loud sound of music and the happy laughter of people made our hearts fill with joy.The crickets chirping disappear, my heart was slow as the sparks burned in the smokey fire.

I wondered if I was going to have another day like this I thought to myself while the soft current pulled the ocean I slept.

"Yo White Stuff, wut up?" hollered Bling Bling.

"Nothin' much, 'cept I went to a man in a big white outfit that had a sticker on that said: Hello. My name is Dr. Herman. Then he took us in to a big empty room and the lights went out! I woke up and my friends were gone! *Sigh*. Anyway, wat up wid you?" asked White Stuff sadly.

"Well, at least I'm still here. Anyway, I got glimmed out with blue stuffed and the same thing happened to me! Except my friends are still here... Besides that, I'm O.K., but I feel really sympathy for ya man," explained Bling Bling.

"Sner smomes ma shiquide.." proclaimed White Stuff.

"It's over! Whoo! I feel like I just had a shower.. I feel all good inside... Wat about you?" Drowsily asked White Stuff.

"I feel good too, but I am ti-red, man," sang Bling Bling."I'm just practicin' my notes," sang Bling Bling again, only embarrassed.

"Yawn! I'm tired too man. I'm goin' to hit the hay," yawned White Stuff.

"Kay man, see you tomorrow morning, night!" Said Bling Bling.

"Night.. Wait!" protested White Stuff.

"What?" Asked Bling Bling annoyed.

"It's only 3 o'clock!!" Yelled White stuff.

"Um, like they say, a holder's job is never done!" Said Bling Bling excitedly.

"True dat, true dat. Anyway, It's about snack time!" proclaimed White Stuff.

"Oh yeah! June's parents are comin' home for snack right about... Now!" Said Bling Bling.
