Field Trip

One of my favorite field trips that I went on was Camp MacLean in 7th grade. We went for two days and one night but I still had the time of my life. When we first got there we took all of our belongings into our cabins and picked our beds. I liked my cabin because I had a lot of my friends in it and one of my favorite teachers, Mr. Gilman. We did a lot of activities while we were there, like archery, fishing, team activities and many more. We also played capture the flag at night with all the kids that came on the field trip. There were two teams orange and green, and we got our face painted the color of the team we were on. That was one of my favorite parts of the trip because everyone was scared because it was really dark and you didn't know where anyone was. But to top off the whole trip was the food we got, you could eat as much as you wanted and drank as much juice as you wanted. It was basically like a buffet, it was amazing. I really enjoyed our field trip to Camp MacLean and I can't wait to go back in May again this year. 

I'm Still Here

Dear Diary,

       Today I went swimming with dolphins, and on a slide that goes through a shark tank, while on vacation in Atlantis. I am with my cousins and family and we are having really a lot of fun so far. We had to wake up early today, around 7 A.M, which isn't really early it's just that we are on vacation and we usually woke up later. Our parents came into our room and started shaking us telling us to get ready because we are going to go swimming with dolphins. We all jumped out of bed, and got ready as fast as we could and ran downstairs from our room and went to the lobby so our parents could take us. 

      When we arrived at the dolphin cove, we had to put on a special suit and we had to go into a room so one of the workers could explain what the rules are and what we were going to be doing. After he was done explaining all the rules and what we were going to do, we went into a huge pool that had salt water and the dolphins were swimming around. We got these machines that helped us go underwater and swim with the dolphins without having to do any work. We got stay in the water and take pictures with them for an hour and it was really fun and everyone enjoyed it.

      Hopefully we do something as fun as what we did today for the rest of out trip. Good night.

Erika's Quotation Post

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.” 
This is actually a true story. My cousin got married to his beautiful wife in November of 2014, and my family and I went to Philadelphia for his wedding. We had so much fun and it was amazing, a few months after their wedding my family and I were at home and we were eating dinner. My dad's phone started ringing and he answered it and he told us that my cousin who just got married and his wife passed away while they were on the honeymoon. My cousin's wife was drowning, because she was sucked in by rip current at the beach, and so he went to try and save her and they never came back up out of the water. This directly relates to the quote because it says you must always choose love and thats what my cousin did.
