My Field Trip to Flags Pond

     Ever had to go to school two hours early just for a field trip?  Well I had to do that on May 13, 2013. Two classes were going to Flags Pond that day. Mrs. Kirker's class, and Mrs. Wowk's class. It was our first time going on a luxury bus because on other field trips we had to ride a regular school bus. 

    On the bus we watched the movie Monsters Inc. I watched it two times before, once in school and once in a movie theater. It was about a monster city that was powered by children's screams. Monsters compete to see who is the top scarer. The two top scarers were Sullivan and a color changing chameleon. They both wanted to be the top. Sullivan was a blue bear that had horns. The chameleon was a cheater that hated mostly everyone. Sullivan suddenly finds a human kid. All monsters get freaked out when a human comes because they think they might kill them. Sullivan and his little pal Mikey try to stay undercover with the kid by making the kid a costume and calling her Boo. Soon the chameleon finds out and tries to stop them. He turned invisible and strangles Sullivan. Soon the kid finds the chameleon finds and pushes him of the rail. Then the monsters said bye to the kid and turned Monsters Inc. from scaring children to making children laugh. Then the movie stops.

   Once we got to Flags Pond we learned about the Chesapeake Bay in the past, present and future. We got to two places, the beach and the swamp. When I was on the beach my class and I got to do a scavenger hunt. I found most of the things on the list. A feather, a bone, a shell and five pieces of trash. I saw people putting waders on. Waders are waterproof pants connected to boots. Those other kids walked into the water and found things with a giant net. When it was my turn I put the waders on and went into the water. I couldn't fish with the net because we had no time. The water felt cold and the ground was squishy. We had to go back because it was lunch time. I sat with my friends and ate nacho Lunchables. After lunch I went to the swamp. We went fishing with dipping nets. My partners and I each had a dipping net. All I caught was a bunch of duckweed and some leaves. My partners caught a few bugs and duckweed. Soon it was time to go home.
   On the way back we watched The Lion King. I'm not going to talk about the movie because I guessed you already watched it. Me and my friend on the bus didn't want to watch the movie because it was so boring. Instead we played violent rock,paper, scissors shoot. You just play the regular game but if you win with rock you punch them, if you win with paper you slap them and if you win with scissors you stab them. We played for a while and got bored so we watched the movie. I kept wondering how the movie was rated G because there were to lions dead and a lot of fighting.

    Finally when I got of the bus it was 4:15. I came home very late with no homework. I still had a concert so I practiced and practiced until it was the concert.
