Mackinac Island

Mackinac Island was sweet. The fairy was way cool. But it was so cold. I was sprayed. We finally got there. It was nice to feel the cool breeze after a hot, smelly ride on the bus. Soon a carriage arrived. We had brown horses and white horses. We went on the white ones. I believe I forgot there names. As soon as we were done with the tore we went with this really funny guys carriage. That was the funniest ride ever. I forgot his name to. Then we went to the fort. It was cool. I really think they did a good gob on it. They had a gift shop witch I thought was funny. After that we went down to the stores, I got some stuff like a butterfly wing, rocks, a toy, and a magnet. Oh snap, I forgot to tell you about the butterfly house. We took pictures of butterflies. The lady told us they were missing 500 butterflies. Later we went on the ferry again. This time it was not as fun as the bus ride home. Maybe next time I should not insult the bus.

      My class went to Mackinac Island. My grandma came with. Her name is Jaci VanVoorst. At Mackinac Island we saw horses, butterflies, Lake Huron, and much more. We went on a carriage tour and ferry rides. I got a cool hat, fudge and other toys. It was so much fun. We went to Fort Mackinac and we saw the cannon shoot. I went to the original fort and there were real cannons that they used at wars. There were the real bunk beds. The floors were not level and there was a real fire place and a dungeon for the bad guy. The best part of it was the fort.

Mackinac Island was the most fun field trip I ever did take. One of the things that I did was look in the buildings about the old days. One of the buildings had a hole and there was a big chain with a cannon ball. The ferry was fun in the end but boring and cold on the way there on the ferry. The next thing we did was go to the butterfly house. There were three men shooting off special   guns.  He said stand strait open cases load up and shoot. Then they got a cannon and shot the cannon but we did not see we had to get up 4:00 in the morning. It was rough but I was excited so I got up after we were ready to go so we went to pick up Julia.

On May 29, 2009 we went to Mackinac Island. I woke up at 3:04 and left with Elizabeth at 4:50.  When we were on the bus I sat by Emily B. We played on my Nitendo DS. After an hour Jeremiah, Zoe, Emilee, Nick, Julia, and I played on pictochat . A little bit later we were in Mackinac city. We went on the ferry. We went on the top. Then we got on the carriage. When we past the Grand Hotel our driver told us that Kid Rock comes to the Grand Hotel for summer vacation. I asked the driver if could get me an autograph from them. He said he would mail it to me and then we were at the butterfly place. After that we went on another carriage to Fort Mackinac. Our driver was hilarious. When we were at the fort we watched how to do a cannon ball. Then we went to a restraint. After that we went to a haunted house. The scariest thing was that the floor vibrated and after that it was time to go on the ferry. We went on the bottom. After that we got in the car and drove to Gaylord and ate with Zoe’s  Aunt Ronnie. Then we drove home.

          On May 29th we went to Mackinac Island. On May 29th we had to be at the school at least at 5:00 a.m. in the morning.  We left the school at 5:15 a.m. My class had to catch the Ferry at 9:30 a.m. sharp. The Ferry was really fast. I went on top. I got wet a little. It was just a few sprinkles. Once we got to Mackinac Island we had to get on a carriage. The persons name that was driving the carriage was Sam. Sam brought us to the Butterfly house. You guessed it that was what we did next. At the Butterfly house we saw a whole bunch of different butterflies but I don’t know their names the only one I remember is the Monarch butterfly. After the butterfly house me, Sophie, and my dad went to get a donut. I was partnered up with Sophie for Mackinac and I’m glad because she’s my best friend. Then we had to get on another carriage and go to Fort Mackinac. Once we got to Fort Mackinac our carriage driver said “Don’t step in the puddles it hasn’t rained today.” That was really funny. When we were at Fort Mackinac there were fake people and they were talking. I can’t remember what they were saying but that’s okay I guess. After that we had lunch then we shopped around. I didn’t get that much but this is what I got a little lylac candle for my mom, and a rock candy on a stick, and rocks you can eat.

Mackinac Island was so much fun because we saw horses, the fort, and butterflies.  First we went a crost the Mackinac bridge. It took four ours to Mackinac. When we got to Mackinac Island we went on the carrge ride.     Going over the bridge it did not take us very long. It is five miles long. On the island we went shopping. I got a hat, shirt, rock and doughnuts. We saw an arch. That was AWESOME!  On the carriage ride we had a funny driver named Jason. The Island was interesting.

On May 29 the third and fourth grades went to Mackinac Island.  We went on a tour and we went to the butterfly house.  We went over the Bridge and we had to go on the ferry boat to get to the Island.  I was on top of the boat and I got really wet.  When we came back the other side got really wet on the ferry boat.  The ferry was really fun to ride on to the Island and the way back to Mackinaw city.  What I really like about Mackinac is that it has the best fudge and I like their shops and the haunted house.  The Mackinac Bridge I think it is 1 hour to get across.

My class went to Mackinaw on May 29, 2009. The first thing that morning I had to wake up at 4:00 and get ready and when I was done getting my dad took me to School. When I got there the teacher just opened door and all the kids started rushing in. So when I got in side the School I made sure I had all of my stuff and then I got my t-shirt. After that we left. When we got on the bus I ate a snack and played my game boy. When I got tired of playing I would put my game boy away.

On May 29, 2009 my third grade class and the other third went to Mackinac Island. On Mackinac Island the forth grade class had to come because they never went before. When we were on the Mackinac Bridge it took us a little of a long time to get on the other side. I am not bragging but we had to go across the Mackinac Bridge two times. The bus had to cross the bridge two times because we had to get on the ferry and so we were facing  the way back to school when we were on the ferry there big waves. When we got on Mackinac Island we went on a carriage ride. When we got off the carriage ride we went in the butterfly house .The best part was when a butterfly landed on me. After that we got food  and we bought an arrow head and it’s a little sharp but not really then we went home. My favorite port was in the butterfly house.
