David's Heartbeat Field Trip

Author's Note: This is a response to the field trip to David's Heartbeat that I went to last week Friday. Riah VandeZande and Sydney Kaine ran it. They did a fantastic job organizing the field trip and I hope they realize how much I appreciated it.

My body ached from laughing as I settled down for lunch. A smile was permanently engraved on our faces. I stuffed my face as we continued to giggle, while recalling the day's events. Though nothing that had happened in the past few hours was rather humorous, we still couldn't control our laughter. The field trip had went as perfectly as it had been planned. Much thanks to Riah and Sydney, I had fun learning experience away from school.

When we left school and boarded the school bus, I wasn't really sure what to except. I had heard plenty about the field trip and I knew Sydney was an amazing dancer, but I just couldn't grasp exactly where it would go. We entered the church were greeted by some very friendly people. I could tell a lot of hard work had gone into the production and I began to get excited. I anxiously sat in the church just waiting for the show to begin. When the lights dimmed and I knew it was time. Sydney gracefully glided across the stage, and every time she went back stage, I eagerly awaited her to come back on. I really enjoyed watching Sydney dance and I tried to focus on her the whole time.

When the performance was over, I gave Sydney a hug, hoping to show how much I appreciated her organizing this field trip. The whole ride to lunch, my friends and I talked and laughed, and laughed even more. We were so relaxed, we felt like we could just have fun. The best part was that it was still a school day and we were still learning, just in a different environment.
