It was a warm, sunny day when we went to our family picnic place, The trip there was accompanied by a circus of strange noises, When we arrived, I ran to Sarah and Emily and had a good, long chat, I knew it was going to be a great day, The river was surrounded by luscious green grass and tall, windy trees, The water was icy-cold and the current weak.After we finished our delicious lunch, my mum came back from the car, hands full of paper and textas, She taught us all how to make a paper boat, which could sail for a maximum of two long minutes, We gently placed them in the water and watched them float, I followed the boats and as mine neared the shallows, I hoped it wouldn't sink, but it got caught and slowly filled with water, After the race, we built our traditional rock wall in the river.... and I splashed through the icy-cold river, trying to convince Em to join us, Lunch was a busy time for the talkative mums, and wet children pulling on their shirts didn't improve their moods.We all sat down for a noisy family lunch, squashed together on the benches .Some of us carried fruits, some carried cakes, and some carried snacks.Finally, the wall broke and water cascaded onto the unsuspecting children.
