We were in a Summer dreamland surrounded by trees, mountains and screams of joy.
" It's quite high," I said as I looked down from the platform.
"High but fun, many enjoy the thrill of riding over the lake; as the view is quite rare." said the blonde employee
"It's different from the ones we've seen," said Krissy
As I'm being hooked onto the line, I couldn't help but look back up. The sight of an eagle chasing a crow caught my eyes.
"Look" I pointed
"Well, you don't see that every day." said a blonde man in a deep voice looking at the birds, "the both of you can sit down and lift your legs."
"Hey Krissy you scared," I asked my friend
"More like ecstatic. You?." she answers
"No..." my voice betrays my words.
At the same time, both men pushed us; We became uncaged birds flying over the lake with the cold wind nipping at our faces. Our feet dangled as adrenaline and excitement filled our being, we couldn't help but scream. Below we could see the beach with boats, paddleboards and lots more fun stuff on the water and the different groups that used them. To our right was the pool and I swear I just saw Wu Minxia dive into the water.
We rode over the lake watching a group of teens pushing each other into the water from a floating platform. As well as many more splashing and swimming in the pool to our right. To our left were three different boats filled with young adults and teens who looked to be having the time of their lives.
"It's really amazing, almost like a dream," screamed Krissy with a smile, as we sped across the horizon "I'm glad I came."
I smiled. 'This summer playground really brings a smile to my face and I can't wait for more.'
Krissy laughed " It lives up to its title as the teenage resort"
"It's an adventure, so let's not waste our summer in Rock Ridge Cannon!!" I yelled as we both reached the end. We thanked the brown-haired lady in camo and walked over the bridge leading toward the pool.
"Wait, why did you stop"
"H...Hey Krissy," I said in a quiet voice
"Yes, Artha?"
"N...Now that I uh think about it. I...I don't have any money..." my voice trailed off as I scratched my cheek.
"... AARRTHA!!!"
"I'm SSSOORRRYY... " I ran as Krissy chased me as if I stole her favourite snack

It's the 25th Wu and Kam City Young Life is preparing to hit the road for its annual road trip.
"100, Clair! That's yours." said a blonde, as he kicked a tiny black and gold bean bag across the encirclement.
"Krissy, catch it" Clair yelled as the bean bag flew over her head. "Hurry!!"
"It's too f...."
"101," I said as I ran towards and head-butted the bean bag "Krissy!"
She kicked the bean bag up to the middle of the circle where many teenagers ran up to catch it, but all of them failed to.
"We kept the bean bag in the air 101 times, that's a new record." said Clair as she watched the tour bus arrive "Everyone gathers your things and lines up, also Braden......

"STOP!!, Artha I know that I was there," said Krissy as she pinned Artha against a wall "What I don't get is how you spent ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR in FIVE HOURS!!"
