Kayaking!

Day 6

Today we read a prose by Henry David Thoreau. It was an excerpt from "The ponds" It was a very important article because it had a lot of examples of observation, meaning and delivery. We also went to the Metro parks in Eastwood where we did hiking and kayaking. Kayaking was a very new experience for me since I had never done it before. I thought it was amazing because it was just like swimming except we didn't have to use our feet (and I love swimming). On the lake that we were Kayaking on there were a bunch of trees hanging low and some that were higher. It was fun going through the trees. I also had fun because after the initial "training, " the person in-charge let us go with our friends for a while. We went through the trees, and under the bridges. We also got really wet because the paddle (which were like the oars of the kayak) would have water on them and when we lifted them, the water would get into the boat and get us wet. After that we went hiking. We looked at plants and talked about them just like we did in the Aullwood Audubon. I really enjoyed today and look forward to go canoeing on Thursday!
