The River

One of the things we like best about living here is how close we are to the river. Our mom takes us to swim there sometimes and it's really fun. It's refreshing, and we get to see all the fish. There are also a whole bunch of cool rocks. I like to find flat ones and skip them across the water. We can float down the river (a little), or you can turn the other way and keep paddling but still stay in one spot. It's a good way to work up an appetite. You can also fish, canoe and kayak down the river.  The river is really low now because we haven't had any rain this summer, so canoeing might be kind of hard. I think I'll stick with swimming for now. - Sophie
