The second time I went tubing
I was at big bear lake for the second time that month to go tubing. I nervously walked down the pier and to the boat. Me, Chen, Kayla, and Noah were all going tubing together. We all got on the zipper up life jackets and got on the boat. As we sat down, the boat started to make rumbly grumbly noises of the engine turning on. I was nervous because my last tubing experience had been a total disaster. I thought back about it and then suddenly I flashed back to that moment.

Me, my friend Eliana, and my other friend Eliana Decher were all getting on the raft to go tubing. We slowly got on the raft excited and nervous at the same time. It was our first time anyway so, you could not expect us not to be. At this moment
