My family loves scuba diving, we hold the world record, oh sorry I forgot my name is Bud and my family's names are Milly, Maarty, Lisa, Brodie, Ella, Ash and Angel. Now Milly’s a very good scuba diver she has one of her own metal, Maarty loves exercising and he goes to the gym everyday, Lisa walks 5ks with my pet dog his name is dusty, lisa also goes to the the gym with Maarty. Brodie loves to go on a run or a bike ride, Ella loves patting her rabbit she also loves to go on a walk with her rabbit, Ash loved to go and play in the sea, Angel loves to read books, now finally bud he loves to eat chocolate and watch the TV I hope you know what my family can do. When my family got home from work
“they said let’s go to the Pacific Ocean and scuba diver” Brodie, Ella, Lisa, Maarty, Bud, Angel and Ash said yes! and they all agreed.
“We have got to do it”
“So we packed all day long”
Then came the morning sunshine, and we went in a shining new van it was yellow and very hippy. We were badly running low on fuel, so they started to use resard fuel and then they ran out of that as well, it came to a sudden stop! They all jumped van and tried to push but they did not get anywhere, so I said we can run we can because it is 5 kilometres away , we will have a breather here now and then ok so off they went to the pacific Ocean. Then they made it but it was dark so we had to camp there that then night , they loved it to the moon and back camping is there life.

That morning it was time to get up and in action and scuba diver they were all smiling and laughing one, two, three into the Pacific Ocean splash, splash, splash a I felt like we were going to break ANOTHER world record. I yelled to the others and they all said
“Are you crazy we already have”.
But then, Bud discovered a blue whale and,
“Milly said whale it is a whale yelled Milly”
and they screamed ( escaped bud ) they tried to escape. Then the whale ate them all for lunch then they got spat on to turtle land and just as a boat came to rescue them, it was as fast as a blink of a monkey's tale we all were back on land it was so fun on the boat and guess what? It was as loud as the stump of an elephant foot, I know it was so loud. We got back on land and did not scuba dive ever again, and we all lived happily ever after.
