A Weekend on the Lake by Julia

On Friday, me and my whole family went to my grandma and grandpa's house.  They live on a lake.  My mom made coffee cake!  Yummy!

When we got there, we saw a pickle ball court that wasn't there last year.  So we got out of the car and started playing.

When we finished our game of pickle ball, we went on the jet skis.  I went with my dad.  We went REALLY fast.  When we got back, it was my sister's turn to go with my dad.  After we watched the jet ski go out on the lake until we couldn't see it anymore, my sister and I went to the pickle ball court again and played another game.  When we finished our game, they were still not back.  My sister, Alicia got angry and here is the story why they weren't back:

They were driving and they saw a house that was for sale so they were looking at it.  Then they saw something silver in the lake so they went to it and it was a dead fish!  My dad stopped the jet ski to look at the dead fish.  When they said, "Let's go back now," they got caught by tons of seaweed and they couldn't move at all.  My dad was still on the jet ski and pulled the seaweed out.  Then he tried it but it still didn't work so they started to wait for someone to come rescue them.  I kept telling Alicia to go see where they are and she said, "no, no, not without dad."  So, back to the story...Daddy got impatient of waiting so he got in the water and saw a big, big seaweed and pulled it out.  Then, he got the jet ski working so they rushed back to grandma and grandpa's house.  When me and my sister saw them, we ran down to the dock and I told my dad that Sarah got a longer time on the jet ski then I did!  Sarah said, "I got stuck." Then Alicia took a jet ski out by herself because she has her license and Sarah and I went with Dad.  When we headed back home, Alicia said, "Let's do a race."  So, Daddy went REALLY fast to win but Alicia went faster because we were on the older jet ski.  Then, it was time for dinner so we put the jet skis away.

Before we started dinner, Grandpa said a little prayer.  After dinner we went to bed.  We slept in a room with four bunkbeds.  I slept on the top of the third bunk bed.

When we woke up we ate breakfast then we played pickle ball.  Then, we went on the jet skis again. When we got back, our grandma said that we were going on the new boat.  So, we all got on and when we were far out on the lake, Taylor went wake boarding.  He was doing jumps and flips in the air.  Next, it was Megan's turn.  She jumped over the wake and onto the other one.  After Megan's turn, we started going back for dinner.  When we got back, I went in the hot tub.  This night, grandma said a prayer and we ate dinner.  After dinner, grandpa made a fire and we roasted marshmallows.  Then we went to bed.

The next day we went wake surfing.  When it was my turn, I couldn't surf with the surf board so Mr. Mansfield brought out a wake board.  He tied my feet so I couldn't move.  One time I fell and I couldn't move my legs the right way to turn around so he picked me up and put me back in the water the right way.  Then, I tried again and stayed up for a little while but then I fell.  It was still fun!  Everyone but grandpa got a turn.  Grandma even went!  She tried to get up a couple of times and when she got up she held on for dear life!  When we got back, grandma ordered pizzas and we ate the pizza.  Then we went back home.

I love going to the lake because my grandparents are nice and we have fun in the lake!
