My 8th BirthDay

”Happy birthday to you” was the first thing I heard when I woke up on August 7,2011.We were celebrating my 8th birth day.I chose to go to lake Tyler,one of my favorite places.When we got to the lake,my parents let me open my biggest present.I was very excited because it was a huge wrapped present.I tore into it like it was a gold mine worth a million bucks.The most awesome knee board  I have ever see.Was my surprise.I can’t wait to ride it.My family,including my grand parents,climbed on the boat and headed out for a fun day at the lake.After wake boarding for a bout two hours,I was ready to give my new birthday present a try.I rode my cool board until my knees were hurting. the best part of the day was when my 63 year old grandma showed us she could also wake board.weened the special day with a family picnic
