Recount Writing-The Blue Springs

 The Blue Springs

On the holidays my family and I went to the Blue Springs. The Blue Springs is in the middle of Hamilton and Rotorua. The Blue Springs is a large stream. I was so excited and I couldn't wait to go. 

First we drove to the blue springs. It took around 1 hour and a half to get there. We all went in two different vehicles. My dad was driving in his car and my mum was driving in our van. When we were there we followed signs to show us where to go and told us stuff about the stream. I couldn´t be bothered reading the signs because they had too many words.

Next we walked across the bridge. The bridge led us to the stream as soon as we saw the stream…it looked so beautiful. The big bright sun was shining on the water, making it sparkle. It looked so pretty that lots of people were taking heaps of pictures. 

We walked along the pathway and saw a photographer taking some photos of the steam. Suddenly my brother had an idea in mind. He said to my sister if she wanted to have a competition, the competition was to see who could take the best photos. They went to places to look for some good places to take photos.

After that my brother,my dad, and I were walking on the pathway, as we were walking the water started to get rougher and rougher. There were lots of rocks and waterfalls. When we were walking further the water started to get calm and the land was brown and dry. So we decided to look for my brother, sister and my mum. We found them sitting around playing on their phones.

Then my brother and my sister showed us the cool photos they took. They found a little mermaid pool. My brother showed us a video of my sister, she tripped on the hill. It was a little bit funny. We also took some pictures of ourselves by the stream. The steam made an awesome backdrop and it looked so impressive.  

Finally we all walked to our vehicles and drove home. I had a little sleep on our way. When we got home I laid on my mum's bed and watched a movie. I had an amazing day. I enjoyed it so much.
