The dusty grey four wheel drive pulled up at the campsite around midday. There wasn't many other people around this time of year and Patrick noticed that the sites were all completely surrounded by trees. He'd wanted to camp at Blackwood River for years but was told it was a very busy spot during school holidays and weekends so he'd always chosen to avoid it. Now that the kids were all grown up though, he decided a mid week trip towards the end of summer would be the perfect time.
Jeremy, his oldest son, had left home to go work in the city about four months earlier. He used to come on all the camping trips with the family, but Patrick's wife Emma often chose to stay behind. It wasn't really her thing and it was easier to have someone stay at home and look after the dogs.
Kaitlyn was looking out the window at a Kookaburra who was peering down from a nearby tree, intrigued by the arrival of the four wheel drive. She was always the most excited about the family camping trips and at the age of nineteen, she was still more than happy to come along when her father suggested a trip to Blackwood River.
"Anything to get out of this place for a few days," she'd said.
Even though Kaitlyn loved her home town and had chosen not to move out yet, she was really struggling to find a decent job and that was getting her down. She worked two days a week at a local clothing store, certainly not her dream career by any standard.
The father and daughter hauled in all their gear through the narrow opening at site number fourteen. As they got through they were both impressed by how the site opened up into a decent sized area. On top of the red dirt sat a wooden picnic table and nearby to that was a barbecue made out of stone.
"Over there looks like a good spot," said Kaitlyn, pointing to an area to set up the tent.
"Yep, okay I'm happy with that," her father answered, and plonked down the tent nearby.
On the way into the camping area, Kaitlyn noticed several bush walking tracks marked out on the information sign, and once they were all set up at the campsite, she suggested going on one of the walks. Patrick liked the idea and so he packed a small backpack with some water and snacks while Kaitlyn got changed inside the tent.
It was a fresh sunny afternoon, with a gentle breeze blowing that took the edge off the heat. Just as Patrick finished packing the bag, Kaitlyn emerged from then tent looking as cute as ever. She had tight white shorts on and a thin pink blouse that he could just see her polka dot bra through, and matching the top she was wearing a pair of pink Dr. Marten boots. Patrick thought she looked like the perfect balance between practical and goofy, Kaitlyn's idea of a great outfit for the walk. He couldn't help think she also looked sexy though, her ass looked great in those tight shorts, and her blouse was buttoned down enough to give him a great view of her bulging creamy white breasts.
Kaitlyn had only recently started dressing in ways that showed off her body, and Patrick was more than happy with this development. He'd also started to realise his parental love for her was now developing into a physical attraction. At first it was little things like how her quirky smile made him feel. She would look at him through her glasses and give him these funny little expressions about things, her lips pouting to one side of her face with her eyebrows raised. When they were chatting and she looked at him in those ways, he wanted to kiss her. The kisses he thought about were no longer little pecks on the cheek for being a cutie though, he dreamt about giving her a soft passionate kiss on the lips.
For a while he chastised himself for having such thoughts. Kaitlyn was so innocent and he truly loved and cared for her. He never wanted to be the cause of any uncomfortable experiences in her life, and even though he was thinking about her in these ways, he really wanted her to have a good happy relationship with someone she loved.
So despite his impulses, Patrick tried his best not to think of her in a sexual way, or when he did he would always reassure himself that it was just a fantasy that would never come true.
When they were about to set off on the walk, Patrick took a good look at his daughter.
"What?" she said with her usual cute quirky smile.
He was caught by surprise not meaning to stare, "uhh, nothing, you just look pretty that's all."
"Aww, thanks Dad!" she said, accepting his compliment well.
He wanted to tell her that her tits were looking great and that he appreciated how she was showing them off, but he decided that would be inappropriate.
Kaitie, as Patrick often called her, had grown into a beautiful young girl. She had an eccentric personality and was very intelligent, she just didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. Her favourite movie was Harry Potter and she spent most of her spare time hanging out with two male friends playing computer games and watching movies.
Patrick definitely thought she was a sex kitten though, she had a nice curvy body and her boobs were large for her size, they pushed out from her tight tops in a way that most men would agree how fantastic they looked.
Kaitlyn had hazel-brown eyes and long dark hair with tight curls. She usually wore her hair tied back in a pony tail or sometimes in pig tails, and wore glasses for reading. Her face was soft and delicate and she had a few light freckles that crept over her nose.
Kaitlyn was one of those girls who at first glance seemed kind of nerdy and innocent, especially when wearing her glasses, but upon noticing her large boobs, soft skin and cute little lips, it was easy to see that she was very sexy.
The sun was high in the sky as father and daughter set forth down the walking trail just after lunch time. They reached the river after about twenty minutes and then continued to walk around the edge of the river bank, not passing a single other person as they went. It was a fairly warm afternoon and the fresh clear water looked very inviting.
"Ahh, it would be great to go for a swim!" Kaitlyn said after getting to a particularly nice spot along the river.
"Yeah you're not wrong," Patrick replied, "shame we didn't bring our bathers on the walk."
"I know right? what were we thinking?! Well I guess we can always come down here and swim tomorrow."
"Yep, that'd be nice ... we could jump in today but we would have to go au naturel," Patrick joked in a characteristically Dad kind of way.
Kaitlyn laughed, "haha yeah that could be fun, maybe on the way back!"
Her answer wasn't really what Patrick expected and he probably read more into it than there was. Usually when he joked about something like that, the reaction would have been something like "uhh, Dad don't say stuff like that!" This time Katie didn't exactly object to the idea and that made him think she might possibly be up for skinny dipping at some point.
As they walked on a bit further and the bank of the river rose higher, Patrick warned Kaitlyn not to walk so close to the edge of the water.
"It's okay Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm not going to fall in okay."
"Okay then."
He reflected that she was indeed not a little girl looking the way she did. She might have grown into a sexy young lady, but of course she would always be his little girl.
Despite her confidence however, Patrick had jinxed the situation. They walked on a bit further and Kaitlyn was walking right near the edge of the water, looking at a group of ducks that were floating on the river. They looked quite amusing as they stuck their heads under the water looking for fish, while others ruffled their feathers and gave themselves a little bath. Katie was encapsulated by them and she pointed to one of the baby ones while continuing to walk along the edge of the bank, not looking where she was going.
"Look at that little one Dad, oh he's so cute!" she said.
At the very moment Patrick went to reply, Kaitlyn slipped and before he could do anything she plunged sideways into the water. She let out a scream and then came the splash as her entire body went under. At first Patrick was quite worried and hoped she was okay, but when she turned around with her wet hair and a feigned look of self pity on her face, he couldn't help laughing.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
