My family visited the valley again. I was buying a new water gun, but I took another one from home instead. I used it when we had a water fight with my dad, but it was weak compared to him because he threw water very strongly at me. I looked for and observed the marsh snails with my mom. This time, the water goggles broke, and I thought I would buy them next time. We had a great time eating dinner at a delicious pork cutlet restaurant.
