My Wet and Wild Field Trip

By: Gina

On October 29, 2001, my gifted class went on a field trip. Our field trip was to the Tuskegee National Forest and to The Mann Museum. The trip was very exciting. I really had a hard time waiting for this trip. This trip was worth waiting for, though.

I sat by my friend, Jessica, on the bus. We had a lot of fun. We played a few games of Trouble, and played with Jessica’s telescope. We also talked a lot. The bus ride was really fun.

When we finally arrived at the Tuskegee National Forest, we had to wait a while, because a lot of people had to use the restroom. When everyone was done, we drove down to two ponds. Mr. Humphrey, the forester, talked to us about the two ponds. After we were done, he showed us a neat beaver dam. After that, we left and headed to the Mann Museum.

When we finally arrived at the museum, Mr. Mann himself talked to us. After he was done. the 4th and 5th graders ate lunch. When we finally finished, we went down to the nature trail and fed and petted the deer. After we finished that, we went inside the museum. I saw a lot of exciting animals. They also had a souvenir shop. I bought my friend something, and I bought myself a few things.

On the bus ride back, I sat with my friends, D.J. and Eric. I played D.J.'s Gameboy. After a while, he took it back, because he got angry with me. The reason he got mad at me was that he thought lied to him. A few minutes later, we made up and became friends. So after we made up, we played a game of Trouble, and then we got to school, and our wet and wild trip was over.

Our trip was really cool. I had an exciting day. I hope that everyone had a good time, because I sure did. I would say it was the best field trip ever. I don't think I will ever go on a better field trip.
