Our Chicago
class trip was fun. On the first day we went to the
Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium,
Millennium Park, Gino's pizza place, and went swimming
at the hotel. My favorite part of the first day was
Shedd Aquarium. At Shedd Aquarium we got to watch an
animal show and look at all the animals. I liked all the
animals at the Shedd Aquarium. At the Museum of Science
and Industry we got to do hands on stuff. We got to make
slime and ride a in a coal mine. Also at the Museum of
Science and Industry we got to see lightening, a tornado
simulator, hamster wheel, and a rocket simulator. At
Millennium Park we got to see the bean. The second day
we got to go shopping on Michigan Avenue and we got to
go to the Navy Pier. During our shopping time we went to
the John Hancock Building and two stores. At Navy Pier
we rode a Ferris wheel and went shopping in gift shops.
After Navy Pier we went home. I had a great time in
Chicago. ~Michele Haske

Our Chicago Trip
by Kelly Hall
On May 16-17 the 8th grade class
went to Chicago. We had to be at school to get on the bus by
4:45 in the morning. It took
us about five or six hours to get there. We took a charter
bus. The first thing we did when we got to Chicago was to to
the Museum of Science and Industry. It was really neat. What
I liked most about the museum is it was interactive, and
there was some hands on sites too. We got to see lightning,
go in a tornado simulator, and run on a hamster wheel. There
was also a little booth where we got to make slime. After
the museum we went to Shedd Aquarium. Shedd was really
interesting. There was a lot of different kinds of fish and
sea creatures. A lot of them I've never heard of. They also
gave us a sneak peek at one of their shows. It was really
good. My favorite animal was the sea lions. After Shedd we
went to Millennium Park. At Millennium Park we saw the Bean
and some really neat water fountains. Then we went to Gino's
Pizza for dinner. It was really good. At Gino's if you bring
sharpies and white out, you can write on the walls. To end
off our first day, we went to the hotel, put our stuff in
our rooms, then changed and went swimming in the pool.
The next day,
we had breakfast in the hotel, and then went shopping on
Michigan Avenue. We only got two hours to shop, and my
group and I only got to go to four stores. We went to
the Navy Pier after that. At Navy Pier we went on a
Ferris Wheel, and it was very cold. We went shopping in
the gift shops, walked around, and then left to come
home. For dinner we stopped somewhere way south of
Onekama, and ended up getting back to school to go back
to our houses at about
8:30. Overall, the trip
was really fun, and I want to remember this for a while.

The last word
by
ERIKA BARTOSIEWICZ
I
had lots of fun in Chicago but the trip there was noisy.
I didn't sleep a wink. I just sat there and closed my
eyes. Brooke on the other hand was fast asleep and out
cold. The other students watched the third Transformers
movie but i tuned my classical tunes up full blast
because I didn't want to hear the movie.
After a huge amount of time I decided it was best I
changed from my PJ's to normal clothes. I got up and
went into the little on board bathroom AND ... there was
a window. A WINDOW IN THE BATHROOM!
When we FINALLY made a pit stop we all went to the
bathroom and took pictures. then back on the road!
In Chicago we stopped at the museum of science and
technology and I was in heaven., but my feet weren't.
Oh there was so much to see and do but in the end ...
My feet were killing me. And it was even WORSE in the
Shedd aquarium !
I also lost Mrs. K and the rest of my small group. I
went looking at all the exhibits and I finally gave up
and sat down in the Caribbean Tank lounge/room/ area
thing. Then I heard "Oh, there you are!"
I turn around and there was Mercedes!
Me: " Yeah ,I am here. Where were you! I've looked in
all the exhibits lookin' for yeah!"
Sadie: "We were in the Gift shop this whole time"
Me: Really.
Later we saw the dolphins and Jacob turned 5 again.
There was a bind seal, a dog, and three beluga whales.
Mommy ,daddy, and baby.
There's so much more I could add but I have finals to
study for. So yeah I had fun and thank you for reading
this.
