Last Saturday was an unforgettable day for 14-year-old Liam. Usually, he spends his weekends playing video games on his new tablet or watching sports on TV. But last weekend, his uncle Frank, who is a professional kayaking coach, invited him to a real outdoor adventure.
While they were driving to the river, the weather was not as warm as Liam expected. It was quite windy, but Liam was too excited to care. When they arrived, Uncle Frank gave him all the necessary equipment: a life jacket, a helmet, and a bright red kayak.
At first, kayaking was much more difficult than Liam thought. He wasn't moving fast enough, and he even dropped his paddle into the water once. But Uncle Frank was very patient. While they were paddling downstream, Liam saw a beautiful grey heron flying over the water. It was the most beautiful bird he had ever seen.
By 4 p.m., Liam was extremely tired, but he felt fantastic. "This is much better than sitting at home with a smartphone," Liam said. He decided that kayaking is now his favourite hobby, and he wants to keep fit by doing it every weekend.
