Part 2- Our Trip to Guoshi
Chapter 6- Hot Springs
The hot springs were very warm and cosy. It was also very relaxing. All of us kids rolled up our pants and waded around the spring trying to find a nice warm place to stand or maybe sit. Rebecca and all the other kids walked slowly to one place while I walked to the place where the super hot spring water runs into the spring that I was standing. It felt so good, especially because it was so early in the morning, very cold and bitter. I liked it so much that I didn't move until I had to. Mom walked over and also felt the relaxing, warm, cosy water.
She said "Now I know why you've been standing there all the time, it feels really good." Finally we were ready to go explore and find somethig to enjoy besides the hot springs.
Chapter 7-Swimming
"We're going swimming!" Rebecca told me! I quickly changed into my swimming suit and grabbed my goggles and headed to their room.
"Hurry, hurry!" Rebecca cried to me from the elevator, "We were about to leave without you!" I rushed to the elevator and made it just in time.When we got to the swimming pool I climbed in and sat down in the warmer shallower pool. The rest of them jumped in the cold-&-deep-enough-to-stand-in pool. They started to play Dive-to-get-the-ring , Catch-the-ball, and Frisbee. I watched, knowing that eventully someone would start crying or getting mad. I was right, Louis started crying because someone wrestled the frisbee out of his hands. Even though I knew someone will get hurt eventully it looked fun so I joined in. When we started a game of Catch-the-Frisbee-and-You'll-Get-Points I got the frisbee for the 21th or so time the other kids started to try and grab the frisbee and so as a result, my arm got twisted, trying to hold onto it. I stopped playing for a while and then after my arm got better, I joined in again. It was fun.
Chapter 8- Goodbye Guoshi, Hello Home
It's time to go home! I hurridly counted our dolls and discovered that the baby dog, Puffy had disappeared! We searched high and low but we never found a trace of her. I hope where ever she is she's happy. This is what she looks like: All of the extra furry parts are purple and the not so very furry parts are pink. She is a miniture version of a poodle except her fur isn't curly. She is about 3 inches long, 2 1/2 inches high(from her feet to the tip of her tail or head), and one inch thick. I really miss her and want to come back. After the long long long drive home we were finally home. I didn't know that I was missing it until we came back. Home Sweet Home.
