We are all so grateful we got the opportunity to go on house boats this year, seeing as now we have many great memories. We were split into one larger and one smaller boat. Our captains were our awesome leaders.
Both Anna and I were on the smaller boat which was named Michael Scott. The disadvantage to this was that all the food was on the main boat. One lunch, after we finished the scarce amount of food allotted, we all decided peanut butter would be a great asset to our boat. The only way to get to the peanut butter was to swim across the icy cold shark infested waters of Shushwap Lake, to Mi Amor, the main boat. Of course Anna and I were up for the challenge. As we hit the water we gasped for air as it was sooo cold, but we did not surrender. Our plan of attack was now in action.
To our surprise Mi Amor had planned an attack as well. They had spent their free time painting their faces with war paint. Their plan was to steal our pirate flag which waved proudly off the top deck of Michael Scott.
Because of the surprise attack and the small size of our crew we lost the flag quickly. Feelings of defeat surfaced as we watched the flag being passed up to the upper deck of Mi Amor where it once again flew tall and strong. This called for back up forces. Ben courageously retrieved the peanut butter which was hidden in the dish washer. Our mission was now to retrieve what was rightfully ours, the pirate flag. As the Mi Amor guards turned their backs for one second Tracy snatched the flag and went down the slide retreating to home base. She quickly called for back up forces as Steve and Shawna came out to attack. So with the help of her faithful crew the flag was put back in its rightful place. We then had a victory party of hot tubing and a feast of peanut butter.
The End

It's a hard enough life, for us... living in a small houseboat...it's a hard enough life!
...each boat with it's own hot tub.
