NC Museum of Natural Science

On January Friday the 27 2023 we went on a field trip to the NC Museum of Natural Science. There were a ton of people there. I really enjoyed the end of our time there when we walked to the huge statues near the museum. Many of the statues were of confederates. Some were governors of North Carolina. There are many different opinions about the statues. Some people want to tear them down and some want to keep them up. There were many fun experiences like this huge bridge by the giant globe. It was a ton of fun to walk around the entire museum. I highly recommend going here.

It was a day to remember starting next to two huge buses. Waiting to load up we all started to drop our stuff and make some conversation. We all knew what was coming and was all we could think about. It was called Hurricane Ian, a category four hurricane to keep our minds on. Finally getting on the bus was the best part of the bus ride. After loading up the bus we got to sit down in the luxury of the bus’s seats. When we got there everyone was ready to get off and find out what cabin they were in.

I would say that my favorite activity was probably canoeing because everyone was bumping into each other. I was partnered with Brandon, a friend of mine. We were getting the most hits on everyone but Stella was playing dirty by attaching themselves to others so when they were stuck the others were stuck with them. But in the end we got them stuck on land then decided to team up with Emma and Beck. All together when Stella hooked us together they got us free and we got them free. I think our strong point was when we pushed everyone onto land.

The best things that happened to me there was that I learned with one arm you’re not put down but brought up. What I mean by that is I was grounded but I got past and made it to the top of the sky hammock. I think my favorite thing about the trip was my cabin because almost everyone was my friend. We always made something bad to be amazing. It made us I think the strongest cabin of them. Our friendship made us not get mad but make each other laugh.
