Traveling on the River by Liz Shorty

:
Traveling on the River

"My summer was fun. I went out on a lot of boat rides with my family. When we went out on boat rides we would go to Kwik,Owl Slough, Takchak, Willow and Wilson. I especially liked going to Kwik and Owl Slough because there was more to do there. When we went to those places we would rod and reel, pick berries, pick punk for my mom, or just ride around in the boat.

When I got back to Marshall I played basketball with my sister Mary Jane, either outside our house or up on the school playground. Before I could play basketball, though, I had to do my chores around the house.

In August, before school started, I went to St.Mary's with my parents, Mary Jane, Rena Boots, Debbie Duny and Debbie's children. We went down to do grocery shopping and get me some new clothes for school.

The best part of my summer was traveling on the river because I enjoy being outdoors and seeing the birds and animals there."
