On the second day of my field trip to Mount Cardigan, my half of the 7th grade boarded the bus in the morning, and on the way to the AMC Lodge, once again, we sang. This time, I remember some of the songs that we sang. Those were Spongebob Squarepants, Sofia the First, and the ABCs. (Don't ask, my grade is weird).
Once we arrived at the lodge, we played Sharks and Minnows while we waited for our group leaders to get ready. After we had gotten into our groups and done our stretches, we went to the hiking trail that led up Firescrew mountain, Cardigan's sister mountain. We hiked up Firescrew until we came out onto a peak, and we saw the most beautiful view of the forest and the lakes that surrounded the mountain. It was so satisfying to watch the shadow of a cloud travel across the valley of trees with their colorful leaves. That's where we had lunch. By this time, we didn't have time to make it to the summit of Firescrew, but we still had an awesome time, and the view was worth it.
We headed back down the mountain, which was somewhat slippery from the recent rainfall, and beat another group down, which was fun. Once we had made it to the bottom, once again we had a talk about how our day went, and what we liked most about it. After that, we joined another group that had already come down the mountain in a game of Kill the Carrier, but once that got too rough Mr. Woolner told us to stop and play a different game. . . so we ended up playing Extreme Red Light Green Light, which was also fun, but in my opinion, not as fun as Kill the Carrier.
After the other groups had gotten back, we said goodbye to the AMC workers, and got back on the bus to go back to the school. We sang a couple songs, but by then the majority of us were tired from all of the hiking and fun we had had that day, and ended up dozing off in our seats as the bus drove us home to Hopkinton.
Regions
A possible theme for this paragraph could be regions, because when we were passing the campsites along the trails, we instantly knew what they were because of the picnic tables, fire pits, and small cabins where the restrooms were. But as we got farther into the hiking trails, we were seeing less and less campsites because the trail started to get more rough and bumpy, without really any good spot to camp out.
