Olivia, Tori and I woke up one morning and wanted to go water skiing. We ran down stairs and asked my mom she said maybe later. We ate breakfast fast so we could get dressed and ready to go skiing. We went up stairs and my dad called us. We wondered why he called us were we in trouble did we do something wrong? What did he want us for? When we saw him he was ready to go water skiing. So we rushed back up stairs to put our shoes on. Then we got our bags with our note books,pencils, and snacks.
When we got in the boat we had to put on our life jackets. He started the boat and we
almost fell out of the boat and then a whale. It blew air out it’s air hole and it looked like a v or an arrow. It was very weird and then the clouds started and then my friend said that the weather man said there was going to be a storm. So we paddled very fast to the shore and when we got there and it was poring down cats and dogs. So we ran back to the house and had to stay in and be bored.

That's so funny I had a very similiar experience. Me, my sister and some friends had gone to South Carolina to go white water rafting. It was very exciting but half way through the trip we hit a rock and my sister flew out of the raft. It was so funny and scary at the same time. We all had to help pull her out of the water becuse the waves were crashing so hard. I loved it though and thankfully she made it out safe and sound. Great story Tina!!

Tina-
Have you ever been lucky enough to see a whale in the ocean? They are beautiful animals, and so big! 2 summers ago, I went on vacation to Alaska, and we got to see humpback whales and orcas. You're right- it is very weird to see whales come to the surface and blow air out their holes.
Keep Writing!

What a great story! Is this based on some of your real-life experiences?
I have only been water skiing once, and I was not very good. I probably need to practice some more. I hope that you get the chance to go water skiing again soon. I also hope that you keep writing about your adventures. I look forward to reading more!

I hate it when weather keeps me from getting to play outside. Your story captured something that is very true to life: getting ready to have a fun trip outside and having weather ruin it. However, there are a lot of fun things that you can do inside too. Whenever it is raining, I like to play cards, watch movies, or play board games.
It sounds like you like waterskiing. I am jealous that you are able to do it. I always fall within my first 30 seconds of trying!

Oh, come on! I want to know what you felt when you saw the whale! I saw my whale from a long distance and felt I'd been in touch with another world, so i can't think someone woudl be so close and not feel something. A good writer like you can surely convey emotions with some good description.
