The water body that had the biggest effect on me was the Fraser River. Since I was three, every year in the summer I go to Barnsten Island with my Dad. The Fraser River surrounds Barnsten Island. I live in Vancouver so every year we drive to the ferry that goes to Barnsten Island through the Fraser River. Once we get on the island, we take a wagon and take it to a “secret beach”. Once we are there, we go fishing (catch and release), play in the river, have mud ball fights in the sand, make sand hot tubs and go swimming in the Fraser River. We set up our tent, make a tarp to protect ourselves from the sun and spend the weekend in front of the beautiful banks of the Fraser river. When we get up the beautiful red sunset looks like a bright red cherry glistening in the bright sun light of beautiful British-Columbia on a hot summer day. If you haven’t been to Barnsten Island you need to go and see it and play on the beaches of the island looking out on the beautiful Fraser River.
