My Recount: Burning, muggey, glistening on a warm summers day. I walk to the river hoping to see the bright blue glistening water in front of me.

The stones burning like a fifty degree oven on my feet. My family and I scurred like a flock of birds to the rivers edge. We look lost as we look one way then the other way. No sight of anyone except the blue glistening water and the shades of green native bush and the sounds of wildlife surrounding us. We sit down hoping someone would arrive. Five minutes later you see a smile come to my family’s faces.

‘’ hello’’, John says. We greet him back with our names. He said to us are you ready for an hour of fun, and we replyed saying yes! Then here are your lifejackets. Buckle up tight as it’s going to be a bummpey ride.

Suddenly he starts his boat. With a hiss and a roar he warms up the engen. Finally after ten minutes he says right lets put your family on the boat. One, Kahu, two Judy, three Teihana, four Rihi, five mum and six dad.

This was like the best thing in the world JETBOATING. We were now going sixty kilo meters, but not fast enough i thought. We reached one hundred kilo meters and he said hold on. A three sixty degree is coming up. With my heart ready to beat out we went round in circles two times. To my joy i screamed and said that was awesome. But i also felt sorry for my brother Teihana as he was sitting in the back and soaking wet.

We went about ten to twenty kilo meters down the river and back which was spectacular. We saw beautiful views. One was Mount Hutt, were we went skiing. Also I saw the historic rock and other spectacular views.

After that we were on our way back to the car we did two more three sixty degrees. This wasn't as scary for me. Coming to a holt in the boat we staggered out with sore legs and soaking wet clothes. Walking one hundred meters up to the car i say to myself would love to visit Methven Christchurch with my family again.
