We put on orange life vests. If the life vest was over your nose, then it was too big. The captain helped us get on the canoe. Then he taught us how to paddle. Then we started to go, but he helped us a little by turning on the motor. Then we paddled downriver. We saw a snake in the water. The kids jumped. Then it slithered by the boat. It looked like a black and brown snake.
Next we paddled into the big river. Then we started to turn around and play this neat game with popsicle sticks. The captain had this sack full of bird bones. You throw the popsicle sticks in the air. If you got one X and one O, you won one bird bone, but you didn't get to keep it. The captain built the canoe himself. It was a Chinook canoe. The game was a Chinook game. We came back to the school and wrote.
