Water Stories

The best day ever

When I first saw how big the slide was in Sahara sams I almost fainted when my dad said “were going to go on that” .but first we went on a couple different rides then we got to the front of the big slide.

When we got in the slide it was fast and slippery then we hit a big bump and at the same time I hit my foot on the side of the slide and I said “ow that hurt” at that time I took my hands off the tube and almost fell through but I quickly put my hands back on the tube then I said “whoa that was close.”

Then I noticed I was talking to myself and my dad said what “did you say.” and I said “nothing” the ride was still going at the time then we were just screaming the rest of the time.

Then we splashed out I couldn’t see for a while because the water splashed me in the eye then we went home.

Falling By Lyza Newbern

It was a long day. We were tubing all day and the water was very choppy. But now it was very soft now that it was night time and no one was in the water. Now every one was sitting around the campfire eating smores and drinking root beer. They were also talking about there crazy day. I was so tired. I had marshmallow all over my face. I was saving it for later. My hands felt like they were about to explode, they were as red as a big fat cherry tomato. At that point I was smelling the trees and the cabins. I could also smell a faint camp fire across the lake. It looked huge, what it looked like was a big house burning or even a mansion burning. I laughed, cassie started to say “do you remember today when Mr. Larry fell off the tube and into the water. My dad was driving the boat and he drove over to Mr. Larry and when he got there Sarah strode up and held her pointer fingers up. She looked like a big buffoon. She was saying she was saying that she was number one.”  now every one was laughing but I was scared to see what she was going to say next. But this is what she said “but then my dad, Mr. Rob, jerked the boat forwards and Sarah did a back flip into the water. She looked like a dolphin. We were all laughing at that point even me. But then me and Sarah both said “I remember that and it was really fun and funny."

** The wait for the water ride... ** ** By: An Ta **
 * Kevin and I were waiting in line for a ride at Dorney park, Wild water kingdom. The ride was called Lilly pads, we waited and waited in that super duper long line! It had about a million people! **
 * Everyone had their own tube of a different color. Kevin got a fiery red one because that is his favorite color. I got a light green tube that looks like a vine from a rain forest. **
 * Kevin said “I love ride but hate the line!” the line got shorter by the hour. It felt like a million years. One hour later, we were closer to the front of the line. **
 * It got boring so we played a game called I-spy. I went first and I chose the wave pool. It took him like 10 minutes to figure out. He went next and I took longer to figure it out. It was my tube. **
 * Finally, we got to go. I went first, it was a dark twisty slide. It had little holes for light. I hit my head on the slide. The water was freezing cold. I slid side to side. Kevin went next. He told me that he hit his elbow and it had a bruise. He went down really fast. I got down first and he almost fell on me. I got water in my nose because he almost fell on me. Kevin drank he water by accident. **
 * He splashed me and I also drank water by mistake. The water went in my mouth and out my nose. He laughed at me because my nose looked like a fountain. It was only a couple seconds. “Ha ha you are a nose fountain” said Kevin.” Come on let’s start the games. The ride ended with games. You can jump on the lily pads or “Ha ha you are a nose fountain” said Kevin.” “Come on let’s start the games.” The ride ended with games. You can jump on lily pads or climb across on ropes to get across the pool. **
 * “I am going to beat you to the games at the end of the ride.” Oh yeah!” I don’t think so!” Yes, I am first to start the games.” **
 * I jumped from lily pad to lily pad. I fell on the second to the last. “Your turn Kevin.” Kevin got to the third lily pad but fell because I pushed him. “I am going to get you one day.” **
 * Next, I went on the rope line. I made it to the begging but fell because he pushed me for revenge. Kevin made it to the middle but fell because he got blisters. **
 * On my third turn, I fell because of my cousin Linh. She went and made it on the first time. **
 * I went and made it. Kevin made it too. **
 * The day had ended but I knew it was a day to remember forever. **

The Big Wave By Anyee Lucas WABAM. Every time Sharae and I went back into the water the bigger waves started to come. We jumped and jumped over every wave that came past us. We thought we could beat these waves. Let me tell you … we were wrong. The most giant wave came, and it knocked us both down. I started laughing at Sharae because it was funny to see an adult fall from a wave. We saw a little boy on a surf board get knocked off of it. We both started to laugh. I knew it was wrong but it was supposed to be a family fun vacation. After that we took some pictures. Then we went back into the water. Well we actually sat. The waves kept sweeping us back and forth. It washed us up about 15 times. We went up to my mom. After that I finished eating my ice cream. Then I ran back to the ocean. My mom told me not to but I didn’t listen anyway. When I went back into the water a humungus wave was coming my way’ and I was the dumb one to go deep out into the ocean.

That wave came as fast as it could be. It hit me like a ton of bricks.

3 minutes later… . The wave took me under as I tried to breath. I touched my throat just to make sure I wasn’t dead. I kept wiggling and wiggling. I was trying to stay alive. That’s when I kind of heard a whistle. Then I heard someone running toward me. It was the lifeguard. He carried me out of the water. I could feel the sun beaming down on me He gave me mouth-to-mouth. I couldn’t believe that it had actually worked. I thought I wasn’t going to live, I told my mom. She replied, I almost had a heart attack. I told my mom, I’m never going back into the water… and I didn’t.
