I was in the canoe my excitement was over coming me. I stared at the dark water thinking something was going to lash out at me. I slowly started to paddle. My heart was beating a mile a minute but i didn’t seem to take any notice of it. Still paddling, Amanda and i were already half way. My thoughts were going bizzerk and my heart started to relax. I slowly stopped paddling and was staring at the scenery. Someone was shouting out that there was a wallaby. I quickly started paddling to the wallaby. I was so excited i couldn’t think straight. Then we suddenly came to a stop. My heart thumping on my chest, my thoughts blank and my eyes wide open. I stared at the wallaby, scared to move or speak. Everyone just sat in the canoes staring at it. Then it moved (ran away). I couldn’t believe what i saw. My heart was jumping with excitement and i started to slowly go back in the open water. I had relaxed but i had lots of thoughts in my mind. I quickly paddled back to the canoe shed. My thoughts were jumping rapidly up and down in my head. I slowly thought to myself “What could be next”.
