Weather Story

One day in the summer me, my sister, my mom, my dad and I were going to take a boat ride all day. We were going in one slough behind Pilchure. We stopped on a bank and we made a little fire. We cooked some food to eat and my mom and dad had some coffee and tea. We waited for a little while then we started our engine and we took a ride again. My mom, sister and I were having fun in the boat while my dad was driving. We looked around for animals. We only saw two glowing eyes with our spotlight. I was kind of scared when we saw the two glowing eyes. It got windy and rough in the slough. We got scared and had to put on our lifejackets. When It got darker my mom and I got scared for awhile. My sister and I quite being loud because our mom told us to be quite and we listened to her because we knew our dad would get mad at we girls if we didn't listen to our mom. We found our way out of the sloughs. The river was really rough. We still had our lifejackets on when we hit the sandbar. My mom tried to help our dad get the boat off the sandbar. After we got off the sandbar we started to head home. When we looked at our time it was 12:30 A.M. When we reached home it was ten minutes til one and my sister and I were really sleepy.
