Tubing With Cousin Tank!

 Sadly summer is coming to an end, but not late summer closing vacations! Me, my Uncle Buddy, Cousin Tank, and our friend Bella  all went to Smith Mountain Lake! It was so much fun even if I don't like water. Cousin Tank brought his boat so we all could fish and tube. Like I've said before I'm not a big fan of water even if I am a dog. But that wasn't a problem. I wasn't going to miss out of all of the fun just because of  my phobia of water. I came on vacation prepared for the most tragic emergency! I brought my goggles, wetsuit, life jacket, my captain of the ship hat so I could be the captain of the boat, and I brought my sunscreen,and sun glasses. We all got on the boat and we started tubing. First Uncle Buddy did it, then Bella and last went Tank while I supervised. Everything was going just great until Tank was on the tube holding on for dear life while hitting some giant Waves! He started slipping off the tube and a distressed look was on his face. All of us on the boat were scared he was in trouble, but he wasn't, it was a trick. A trick that would change my life forever! I discovered my inter awesomeness!!!!!!! Well, I already knew I was awesome before they pushed me into the water and Tank grabbed me, put me on the tube while he went to the boat to get a good look at me screaming! At first I was mad at the dirty trick they all played on me. I tried to get them to stop the boat so I could get off the tube, but they got the boat to go even faster! I was screaming my head off, well not really, I was just kind of yelling just a little. When all of a sudden in a blink of an eye I hit a giant Wave! I flew up into the air like a bird or a pelican or well let me finish the story. I flipped in mid air then I hit the tube then I landed in a perfected pencil dive right into the water below! Even though it was pretty cool, I still don't like water! Vacation was really fun, but I'm glad to be home!
