The dam


On Wednesday 3 of my cousins came to my house and so did 3 other kids but 1 kid left. We had 6 kids so we decided to make a dam in my grandma and grandpa's creek. We built 1 from scratch but it didn't work so we went further down and found another dam. It was working a bit but 2 meters from that was our old dam and it was working nearly perfect so we built of that. We put rocks for walls and sticks for frames then poured dirt on them to make them stronger. We went back because some of the kids got stung by nettles when we got back the power was out because there had been a blackout. We ate some dinner then decided to see if our dam was there. It still was it just had a leak down the side. The water was like a foot high behind the dam. After a while we couldn't fix the dam so I rammed a stick into the middle of the dam and made a waterfall. The water came out at like 100 kilometers an hour. Was funny. After that we went back and my cousins and friends left. It was a very funny day!!!!
