Chapter 14: Spring Trip

Finally it was May. It was the week we had to get ready for the spring trip. We had another student in the middle school classroom, and in upper intermediate. Aaron was in middle school and I knew him from the deaf school. His sister Hannah goes to upper intermediate. We all had to show Aaron around the school, and explain the spring trip.

Mrs Grooms was reading another spring trip reflection. I was getting tired of the reflections she read everyday, and I was also getting even more excited as the spring trip came closer. Zac was also excited about this trip. It would be our frist trip without our families!

It was finally time for the spring trip! My mom drove Zac and me to school with all of our stuff at 7 in the morning. We got out of the car with our stuff and met up with Nathan, Aaron, Jenny, Amanda, Bill, Elizabeth, Tim, and John. Mrs Grooms gave out the car assignments.

"Ok. In the blue van with Mr Werner and Kyle will be Zac, Bill, John, Meghan W, Jen, Amanda, Tim, Nathan, and Elizabeth. You guys may go on to the van now,"and Mrs Grooms gave out the rest of the car assignments.

We all got into the blue van. It was a big van that could fit about 11 people in it.

We all got to Denver, and got out of the vans at the Double Tree hotel. We waited for Mr Gaither and Mrs Grooms to get all of the rooms and check them out. When they did come out, Amanda, Jenny, and I got room 770. Zac, Nathan, John, and Aaron got room 771 which was across the hall from our room. We all sgiushed into 1 elevator and went up to the 7th floor. Then we went into our rooms.

We had dinner at the Spaghetti Factory, and walked to the Coors field to watch the Rockies play. They won and the score was 8-3. Haha! Diamondbacks lost the game! Then we all went back to the hotel for a swim even if it was 10 at night. Nathan, Zac, Bill, John, Amanda, Jenny, and I were dunking each other in the water. Zac dunked me and I got him back. We all decided to get Zac. When Zac went underwater, we all grabbed him, and scared the heck outta Zac! It was way funny!

The next day, we went to Steven Greer's mom's apartment for breakfast. We ate breakfast and went to the Celestal Seasonings Tea Factory. We toured the factory, and went to downtown Denver for lunch and the boring museum. Then we headed back to the hotel for another swim. After we went swimming, we all went to Six Flags/Elitche Gardens. We had dinner there and went on some of the rides.

The next day, we toured the air force base which I nearly fell a sleep on! It was a very boring bus tour. I noticed that Zac was about to fall a sleep too. Oh well. Then we had some lunch at a McDonalds which Zac was really not looking forward to. Hanson don't like McDonalds.

We all got home and we were tired. Well, most of us were. Walker came and picked Zac and me up. He also gave John, Aaron, and Nathan a ride home.
