A Day at the Dock Excerpt:

Wakely Water Scooter bobbed gently next to the lake dock, still secured with a rope. Just yesterday, Wakely’s family brought him out of storage and onto the lake. Wakely smiled as he remembered the fun he’d had zooming across its surface, splashing through waves, and feeling the wind rush past him.

Wakely was eager to get out and go zooming once again, but his rider wasn’t here yet, so all he could do was float. At first, Wakely didn’t mind. The water rocked him gently, back and forth, back and forth. The warmth of the sun felt nice on his metal sides. The sound of the waves was enjoyable.
