Favorite fieldtrip
My favorite field trip was when I went to Holly Hill in Wisconsin with my bible study class. We were told to be at church early that day so that we could take attendance and then load the bus for the three hour ride. We had rented a van so that all of us could fit. When we got into northern Illinois and the land started getting hilly. We turned around and looked out of the back window as if we were on a roller coaster. We got to the church and had lunch. We sat around for a little bit and talked about life and the bills we had to pay. When we were all done we went on this trail that had the twelve stages of Jesus carrying the cross and when he was on the cross. When we got to about the sixth one we started waking on our knees, and let me tell you that was painful. Most of the people that were doing it were boys and we all knew that just a little bit of the reason that we were doing this was to impress the girls. We got to the end and half of us were holding back tears. Then it was time for the part we were all waiting for. The walk to the very top of the church. There is a stair well that goes all the way to the highest point of the church and we knew it was going to be hard but we did it anyway. Apparently I had rained the day before and we didn't know that so when we got to the top we all stepped into a big puddle and got water on almost everyone that was under us. We all ran to the side of the wall so that the people would think that it was us. Lastly we went inside the actually church part and we were all stunned at how much art there was. We really didn't know what to do because it was so much more different from our church. The weirdest part was getting communion. It was weird because we were used to the normal bread that we get at our church but here they were giving our souses. We didn't know what to do so we just tool it the way we normally did at our church. But there was something missing. There was no one giving out the wine. We just gave up after that and walked out. That's all I can remember because that was over four years ago.
