Then we went on a boat ride. It was fun. I even got to drive the boat with my uncle helping. I'm glad we had our life vests on because we were pulled over by the police and they checked. I was even scared a little. The police patrol the lake to make sure everyone is safe.
I will tell what else happened next. My cousin punched it! She is only 7 years old. It was ok because my uncle was sitting with her and took control of the boat. We all laughed so hard. My mom was scared and told my uncle to help control the boat better. My uncle always lets us all have a few turns driving it.
We went back to the picnicking area and ate KFC and spinach pies, potato salad and cookies. Sometimes we have a big picnic there with a lot of food and we stay there all day. We ended it by playing catch. It was a fun day!
We go to Metro every year. This is one of the many reasons I love summer. I like doing summer things and being with my cousins. I have my own fishing rod and box that I use. This is something my grandpa and I both enjoy. My dad's not much of a fisherman so I'm glad that my uncle's and my grandpa are.
My grandpa used to have a red star Craft it was from the 50's. It was wood and looked like a 57 Chevrolet because it had fins. He bought it in 1970. Then he sold it and bought a blue 15 ft boat in 1978. Believe it or not, he still has this boat. He keeps it in my uncle's garage. The boat is now 44 years old and we still use it. He had to do a lot of maintenance on it through the years and had the seats redone.
My mom, aunt and uncle used to go on it a lot when they were young so she thinks it's pretty cool when their kids go on it and have just as much fun as they did. My mom always liked to sit in the open area and liked it when it went fast. That's how I like it too! Being with family is fun!
