One Moment on the Raft Trip

It was raining and cold the goose bumps on my arms and leg weren’t ready to go back in the water.

Everyone was talking about the rapids coming up and I was in the ducky kayak. Axel and Lander go down the rapids and didn’t fall. I was next as Larkin and Will followed. I was trying to go down straight on the big rapid and then I did a paddle and I went down it sideways. I fell out of the ducky and I ended out underneath the ducky. I quickly swam out from underneath the ducky. I was really trying to keep my sunglasses on and my bucket hat on. As I put up my legs when I turn into the floating downriver position and then I hit my butt on a rock but still kept my feet up. After I get through the rapids I flip over my ducky get back in it I was as it still poured rain and it got colder. I grabbed on to Will and Larkin’s boat and waited for the paddle.
