The Epic Falls
I waited a long time just to see Niagara Falls and here it is, right here, in front of me. It looked a little different from what I saw in pictures of it, but it looked way better than the picture that we had on our refrigerator back at home. We are heading towards a boat that we saw earlier today. What I saw was that the boat would go close enough to the falls that you could feel a slight mist and that would be so awesome!

When I was around five or six, we went to Sea World and went on some kind of boat ride, and splash! Water was dumped right on our heads that got us soaked, extremely soaked, and now it’s going to happen again, maybe the boat would be about 3 yards away from the falls and that’s not far enough.
Splash! The boat was finally turning around and was heading back to the dock. “ I got water in my shoes!” I complained, nobody cared but they were my best shoes to. “ Are we going to ride the train back up the hill like we did on the way down the hill?” Bryan

The Sirens of Wildwood Falls When Alex Smith noticed his 13-year-old brother, Chris, slip off the rocks above Wildwood Falls he knew there was only one thing to do. Without hesitation, the 16-year-old boy ran to the edge of the rocks, where the current of the Row River was pulling his younger brother towards the nearby waterfalls.

I was getting curious about what it looked like when that water was rising, so I decided to head down until I see water I get in the elevator and I accidentally press the wrong button and it wouldn’t let me cancel it, so instead I ended up going to the deck. I decide to take the stairs back down and by the time I got to 3rd class the water was waist deep and it made me numb. I could still see some people that were there and they were speaking a different language and trying to get to the deck as fast as they could.
It is a hot, sunny afternoon and the air conditioning in the house broke. We try to keep cool, wearing as little as possible, but it just isn’t enough. We decide it is time to go swim in the lake behind our house. It’s our own private lake, but we hire a neighbor boy to keep it clean -He also cleans the pool. We change into our swimsuits, you choose your blue and black one-piece, and I choose my LEGO Star Wars swim trunks from eighth grade (they were loose when I got them).
The waterfall loomed overhead, and enormous sink set to full blast. Spurts of ocean plummeted from the mouth of its cataract in a violent fashion. As a whole, the general appearance was reminiscent of a crater sliced cleanly in half, surrounded by a border of pine trees.
