Corn Field Maze Trip


   On October 25th, 2011, my class and I went on a trip to the Corn Field Maze over at Wolfe Island. To get to Wolfe Island, we had to take a ferry ride. I didn't walk with the class to the ferry dock since I lived close by, so I met them down there. The grade 5/6,7, and 8 classes took the 9:30 a.m ferry. When we boarded the ferry, everyone had to go sit up top where it was freezing cold up there, and the seats were wet. When everyone got organized and the ferry was moving, the gr.8 girls and I went downstairs where it was warm and smelled like french fries. Us girls chatted and had a fun time laughing.

Later on, at 10 a.m, we were on Wolfe Island. Some of us went to the store while others did not so the people who didn't go went to the wagon ride. People who didn't go to the store, got on and got comfy. When eveyone got out of the store and onto the long wagon, it was cramped and you can hardly move. Since the wagon was pulled by a tractor and not by horses, it was very slow and cold.

After 30 minutes, which felt like an hour, we were finally at the Corn Field. Everyone climbed out and walked to the hay bales around the campfire to drop off their bags. After that we gathered around the Corn Field Maze owner and listened to some rules. Girls of all grades rushed to the barn to get their boots. Lucky me, I wasn't last so I didn't have to wear bags around my feet as boots like last year. After that, we got into groups of 6, but my group was a group of 8. Kya and I were stuck with the gr.7. No offense, but I never want to be in a group with them ever again. I mean I still like them, but we had too much arguing and I'm not willing to be in a group with some of them again. I have to say the ground was muddier then last year. We were lost, confused, and some of us were angry/mad. To top it off, someone had to drop the walkie-talkie, which means we got no help as to how to get out.

After like 2 hours, we got out and had lunch. We changed back into our footwear. The gr.8 class got a class photo then we went to get on the wagon first. It was the same thing as we got on, but this time, I was on the edge. We got cookies which were good and said our thanks you's and left with the tractor pulling again. We went back on the ferry and had an fun, awesome, and laughing time. I didn't walk back to the school with the class again, since my mom's workplace was close by. Thanks for sounding like my mom, Mrs.Dowker. I know my street safety, but thanks for caring. Your an awesome teacher and I had a blast and I'm sure the class had a fun day as well!
