Best Field Trip Ever

Fifth grade, at Valparaiso Elementary school, we were going on a field trip to Sea World, and we got to stay there over night! Everyone knew, and this was like the pinnacle of the entire year. Everyone waited till the day. I'm pretty sure I got zero sleep the night before and zero sleep on the bus as well. But god I was so stoked.

We get there, and we have to basically learn some dumb stuff about underwater animals and what not. Whatever, it's worth sitting through. We get dinner, and just straight chill it. Now all the fifth graders are split up into three groups. These groups sleep in three different locations; The Sharks, The Dolphins, and The Manatees. I was really hoping for the Sharks. I was really really hoping for the Sharks. The shark group was all picked, and gone. I was pissed. Next I really wanted the Dolphins. Of course not. I got to sleep in front of the Manatee tank. I wasn't too stoked, but whatever. I was sleeping at Sea World!

I am still too stoked to sleep, so are my friends. Most of the kids, and even the chaperons are asleep. We start running around and jumping over the sleeping kids like hurdles. I'm surprised none of us landed on them. It was so much fun though. I'm pretty sure we got caught being goofy and was told to go to sleep. We went to sleep.

Wake up. We hear some rules, of course I didn't listen to any of them, being as punx as I was. All the groups get split up into smaller groups. My little group sprints to The Journey to Atlantis. Finally, we were free and able to do what we wanted. We got there and were the first kids in line. I shoved my way to the front and sat in the front of the cars.

That was the best ride I had ever rode at Sea World, so we rode it a couple more times, till we were told by our chaperon that we couldn't ride it any more. Whatever, fuck her.

The rest of the trip doesn't make a good story. Getting splashed by Shamu, and seeing all the other aquatic animals. I believe my favorite were the penguins.
