Today my school is the world but my classroom was mainly water. Now before I tell you what I did I want to tell you 1 thing and that 1 thing is…

some very fun facts they are so fun that you might laugh!

1. The world's "fastest man on water" is Australian Ken Warby with his jetboat

2. Queenstown, New Zealand was where the jetboat was first conceptualized. It claims to be the jet boat capital of the world.

3. Sir William Hamilton was a New Zealand engineer who developed the modern jet boat.

Now let me get to what I did.

I had 2 different activities but they both were in water. The first activity I did was a jet boat. Me, my Dad, Captain O, and World-Rings-Bell went on the jet boat. (Mommy didn't go because the jet boat turns really really fast and she has a back problem.) If you don't believe me then watch this video:

P.s. if you go on the photos album you will see a picture of me on the jet boat.

Guess what my 2nd activity is…

Yes! Whitewater rafting!

What you do in white water rafting is…

Well first let me start with how the name came.

Its called WHITE water rafting because there are rapids and rapids make the water white. Now the reason its called white WATER RAFTING is because you are on a raft on the water.

Here are some whitewater rafting tips.

1. If you are doing man overboard then the man overboard should never put their feet down unless its very shallow and calm because if it's deep and there are rocks then you might get stuck under one and caught on the bottom while the moving water at the top pushes you under. If this is too confusing let me just say- you will drown! Also, if you start going close to a rock and you crash don't panic just hold on and you will be fine.

Now let me tell you how much fun I had.

I had so much fun!

One time we stopped going there was a calm little pool next to a cliff so we jumped of the cliff I did it two times. And also sometimes we are allowed to get out but we have to hold on to the boat.

Anyway, all of it was so fun!

Now I am going to tell everything I thought was funny.

*Our guide told us to hold on to the top of the oar but then he didn't do that so now he has a bloody eye!

-He was OK so it was funny not sad.

*My family and I were about to go through rocks and we didn't know what was through them we thought it was a waterfall but it ended up fine.

-Awesome

*On the way to the river we needed to drive and our driver carves sculptures in the rock of the mountains.

-Guess what, when my Mom was reviewing this blog with me she told me the guy didn't actually carve these. He was just telling tales. She also told me the animals that looked like sheep with long necks aren't called Gireeps (half sheep half giraffe). They are alpacas. The guy that got hit in the eye is a big bad joker! I should have known this when he said we were at bad joke corner at one place on our ride.

Here is a little question I have for you, to get the answer you will need to scroll down.

Question:

Why do you think I chose to tell you how much fun I had last?

Answer:

Because I had so much fun that it would take up a whole page!
