Grandpa Paddles the Splashy River

Grandpa grips his paddle and steers his little kayak through bouncy waves. He wears a round helmet and a snug life vest that hugs his chest. Water leaps up in big drops beside the boat, and curvy lines show the river whooshing past. His wide smile says, I am having the best day!

Now that he is retired, he takes his time and swishes the paddle left, then right. He lifts it high, then dips it with a happy splash. Color the vest bright so he stays easy to spot, and make the water cool and swirly. Add shiny spots on the splash to make it look wet and sparkly.
