the river

We have a big dam here and the other day(when we had 17 people staying at our house), we went to a river that comes out of the dam. It was so fun because there are lots of rocks there, there's a little island in the middle that you can swim to, and there's a log that pokes out of the water that you can jump off. But the funnest part is that there are these rapids that you can go down. most of the river is rocky, but the rapid part isn't. There's this one big rock with heaps of slim and moss on it, on slide down this and when you come to this really foamy white part, you quickly try to move your body to the right so the rapids take you down the safer way. If you go down the wrong way(quite a few people did) then you come into the rocky part and you get bashed about the rocks a lot. Also when you go down this way, it is hard to stop yourself until you reach the sandy and more calm part of the river. You7 can go down these rapids by yourself or in a train. I went down it tons of times by myself, and tons of times with my older sister and her friend.(Her friend was part of the group that was staying at our house and came up to help teach English or this camp thing for two days) It's also fun to lie on the rocks and let the water sweep on over you, it's kind of like having a massage!
