Gold

Two days ago we drove to Arrowtown. Arrowtown is right next to the Arrow River, which is one of the most prolific gold-producing river in the world. It has been raining the last two days, so we didn't do that much outside. But today mom went on a hike and we went gold panning with the New Zealand Gold Panning Champion. He owns a jewelry store in town called The Gold Shop. We met him there, and asked him if we could hire him as a guide. He said yes, and this afternoon we walked down to the river "which is only a hundred yards from his shop". As soon as we got to the river we stopped and started digging. On my first pan I got some specks of gold! We panned for three hours and I got more gold than dad! When we finished it was time to go to dinner. After dinner we walked back to our room and all decided to jump on the trampoline that's right outside. All of us got to jump at the same time!
