It was my 5th birthday, and we were in a boat out on Lake Simcoe. My brother and I were fishing, but even though we didn’t catch any fish, we had a great time.
I enjoyed the movement of the ship on the water, and I really liked when we were moving with the motor. I was always asking to go faster.
I got lots of presents and my grandfather was having a great time. It was hard to play with some of my gifts because of the rock of my boat, but I managed to find a way to not let everything fall down. The rock of the boat made me happy and was a bit unpredictable.
I loved looking at the water, and watching the waves ripple in the distance. I will never forget this day.
