“Dont Splash” is what we were yelling at one another as we grabbed our paddles to kayak as fast as we could from the boat with the watergun. 

The kayak trip started off as normal as possible; mostly everyone was paddling in a tandem kayak with a partner while trying not to fall into the cold water. Suddenly, Ella revealed that she had brought a bright purple watergun and her partner, Tanya and her were ready to spray any kayaks with the cold Jordan lake water. Thomas, in his single kayak, was able to paddle fast and snatch the watergun from Tanya and Ella. He decided to form an alliance with Aditi and Asha in exchange to not spray or soak each other with the watergun. While this ferocious battle was happening, the other group of Monica and Jiya were making a Tiktok and far from the water gun fight. As seen in the picture, Jiya was upset because Monica wasn’t paddling enough.

 

The watergun battle continued since Aditi and Asha slowly devised a plan to splash the other groups one by one.  After being splashed, Tanya and Ella decided to take matters into their own hands and took the watergun from Asha and Aditi’s hand but not for long. After being threatened by the other groups that they would capsize Ella and Tanya’s boat, Ella and Tanya surrendered the water gun to Mehitabel and Anna. Since Monica and Jiya were looking too dry, all the groups decided to work together to spray Monica and Jiya and they were successful. Everyone was laughing and screaming as they tried to not get sprayed by the watergun (which eventually broke after being snatched so many times)

The other groups of Isabel and Maggie were kayaking on the side and avoided getting wet during the fight and instead, they made art in the sand. The clouds parted and the sun began to shine to finish off the great kayaking trip and an even more thrilling water gun fight!
