The Lake Days
The reflection of the sun on the water
Was shining into my eyes as I jump with excitement onto the tube
*Splash*
Water goes everywhere!
As I sit and wait on the tube,
My hands begin to sweat with nervousness.
I take a glance over the side of the tube underwater,
Wondering what it is like to be a fish and live underwater,
I search for creatures.
Seconds pass as I hear the engine roar.
I look forward and see my family getting ready for our accent around the lake
There’s pushing and pulling between the 2 tubes….this is war.
I look to my left and see houses
And trees,
Leaves slowly making their way down to earth.
Now I am not focused on tubing
I am focused on the scenery around me.
My dad makes a sharp turn and I fall.
I am now tumbling under the water searching for the surface.
When I reach the top I gasp for air.
Slowly I hear the joyous cheers and laughter coming from the boat.
My streak of staying on the tube is over.
