Mackinac Island
By: Hailey Maynard

Every year in May the fourth graders take at three-day trip to Mackinac Island. This year the two other Lake Shore schools, Rodgers and Violet joined them for the first time. They left May 16 and came back May 18. The first day they traveled on a bus and go across on the Mackinac Bridge then back on the bridge, they made two stops the first day, the first stop was Colonial Michilimackinac where they learned about the fort and did a little scavenger hunt with the buildings there. The second stop was Mill Creek, where they listened to a presentation on the animals at Mill Creek such as beaver and they got to see how the sawmill worked and learned about that. Then later they took a ferry boat to Mackinac Island and they went to their hotel and spent the night. The next day they took a horse-drawn carriage tour and saw Arch Rock and Skull Cave and they learned a little bit about the carriages too. Then they had time to explore the island and do some of the stuff in main street like get some fudge. The last day they traveled back on the ferry then on the bus back here, and the trip was over, it was a lot of fun!
