Personal Narrative

So this is a portion of my narrative that needs a little work. Actually all of it needs some work but this part is way too wordy and doesn't flow well.

"We like to come here in the summer to play at the park and swim in the river. We were swimming in the river when all of a sudden I was taken by the current and pulled down the river. I flew over a small waterfall and was really scared."

Yeah...it sounds like it was written by a second grader. That is probably because it was written in a hurry late at night.
