August 18th or 19th, I went to Mission (a place in the Mainland) it’s near Fraser Valley. I went there to visit some family on the first day we settled in and chilled inside.
On the second day everyone at the house (maybe 14) went to Cultus Lake Waterslides. I went on a waterslide with 3 other people inside a tube and it was amazing, I kept on going on a few different ones then I sat down at our bench and ate some food and chilled then my brother told me I should go with him on a waterslide and I asked him “which one” and he pointed at one quite high up and apparently you go all the way down on your back. I went with him cause it looked alright and once we got up my brother said you’re gonna have to take off your hat (I usually wear hats to either look good or I just haven’t done my hair) when I was near the top though I didn’t have anywhere to put my hat so I saw how people were going on their backs so I put my hat on my stomach while going down. Right before going down I didn’t think much of taking a deep breath because I thought I could breath. Short version: I couldn’t. Near the bottom I started to struggle from not being able to breath. once I got to the bottom I tried to open my eyes from the water and could barely see, I took a deep breath and got out and then I put back on my absolutely soaking wet hat.
The next day we had even more family over (around 25 people) my grandpa made a baron and beef roast on the barbeque and others made some broccoli and got buns ready and made some cake and cupcakes. When I finished I asked for the cupcakes and I guess people were waiting for someone to ask because right after I did the cupcakes were gone in less than 5 minutes. I had some fun with the kids Odin and Bjorn, Bjorn was not quiet. some people even went in a pool in the back, I didn’t though. that night was very fun though, I was being stalked and followed by Odin, Odin’s clumsy but amazing. I probably stayed up around 12-1 am.
I stayed there for one more day and then went back on the ferry. I walked on the Ferry for the first time and went with no parent for the first time (and almost lost my luggage at the end). The way back was pretty fast and it only seemed like 20-30 minutes. I somehow knew we were close from looking at a specific tree though, I don’t know how but I guess that tree looked familiar?
