It's just an obstacle

The waters rough, splashing into the blow up raft and onto the Jones' Family faces. "Ewww!"Joshy says n disgust. "Only a bit of water son," Dave replies back to Joshy. " Just get over it, plus it looks carmer further up." Dave is an adventurous, outgoing, 28 year old man who lets nothing get in his way. He stands proud on his short, muscular legs, guiding his family of five through the waters of New Zealand.

The Jones Family is on an outing which none of the have experienced before. White water rafting. They are so excited for the trip. The have nothing to fear only the fact that Dave has never done this before and only has a map of the waters to guide them back to Waikato. Birds are singing but thier songs fade so quickly because of how fast the raft is going. "I'm hungry.", "I'm cold, "Are we there yet?!", "I need to go toilet!" The family are arguing and grumbling at eachother.

"CARM DONE!" Dave shouts. "We have nothing to worry, only that the map is gone. No fear, your Dad is here. You know my motto." He stands up straighter, head high and says"Nothing is a challenge for me, only a small obstacle that I can easily jump over." "Yeah, yeah Dad." Georgia grumbles. Once again they are arguing as they cometa a fork in the river. Dave takes a sharp left turn into a skinny water way and they continue on.

Dave is hearing loud, splashing noises further down from where they are, he gets worried but doesn't show it with facial expresions. Suddenly the raft tips forward and the family are rapidly falling down a waterfall. "Ooahhh!!" The family scream 'SPLASH!' They hit thee water with full force. Up comes Daves head, then Jackies, next Georgias, now Joshys. "Wheres Lucy?!?!" Jackie says. Bubbles form from the water.

They all swim faster than Micheal Phelps to where the bubbles are. Dave dives under the water, reappearing with Lucy in his arms. The 5 year old didn't make it. "Shes dead." Dave says with tears in his eyes. "This is a challenge that I am facing but an obstacle I will never get over."
