I just love canoeing
published 2006
By Frank Jones
I learned how to get into a canoe without letting in a lot of water. It was the first time I'd done it. It looked kind of difficult, but I thought I could do it. I love the water and I just love canoeing. We also had to practise capsizing the canoe with two of us in it, and that went well too. We went on a four-day canoe trip. I never was scared-because we were having too much fun. All my friends there were really nice-and they didn't mind getting dirty. Sarah, 11; Buffalo NY
