Lake Adventures
It’s the beginning of summer and we had arrived at the lake. We had set the camper up and placed everything in its place. It was a hot sunny day so we decided to take the boat out for the first time that year, once everyone arrived. As we unloaded the boat and watched the water move from a cool little breeze, I had become more excited and just wanted to get going! The temperature was probably about 27degrees; out on the water it felt a little warmer than that from the sun reflecting off the sparkling water. I got this great idea to jump in the water from Murray persuading me, turned out it wasn’t so nice when it was only mid-June. I ended up swimming back to the boat very quickly as I was shivering from the cold water, however it was nice to cool down and get a feel of the lake water for the first time this summer. I enjoy everything about the lake even if the weather ranges from sunny to pouring rain! I want to go back to this day and have it done all over again, I enjoyed it that much, even the shock of the cold water! That day was lots of fun because all the family was there including the Meena family. We have made many trips up and down the creek at Jack Fish Lake and it is always very relaxing to cruise down there after you have been doing some water sports or swimming in the ice cold water. I want to do this day over because of how exciting it was even when it was just dad and I hanging out at the beginning of the day setting everything up. I guess it was a daughter, father bonding day till later on that afternoon. I enjoy being with the family at the lake and relaxing during the day on the chairs in the sun or cruising the water on the boat in the sun. This was just one of those days that everyone enjoyed, I think because it was the first day there! After we had our fun on the boat we went back to the camper and made a big supper, after we had our supper that us and the Meena’s had made, Murray, dad and I made a fire for us to sit around and enjoy, after we had collected all the fire wood that nobody else wanted to get. I think going back to this day and doing it over again would make me a very happy girl!

ReplyDeleteOne thing you did well was setting description. One thing you need to improve on is character description because there was none in your story.
