It was the day before we broke up for summer vacation. Meaning today was the day of the fourth grade trip, this year,it was Dad's choice


1 month earlier

"Okay! Listen up, I have to talk to you about the fourth grade field trip. I am absolutely stumped for ideas so has anyone got any?"

"Disneyland!"

"Too far and too expensive"

"Las Vegas!"

"Er...no"

"New York!"

"Not a bad idea but yet again too far,we need somewhere that's within 2 hours and the budget is a maximum of $30 each"

Russel,as usual,had his hand raised as high as it would go

"Yes Russel?"

"Last year my Moms took me to Six Flags and there was really scary ride called Kingda Ka but I was too short to go on it so my Moms said maybe next year"

He took a deep breath"That was a lot to say in one sentance,thank you and goodnight"he said before passing out on the table

"Someone get Nurse Hudson"


1 month later

I was woken up with my little brothers Benjamin and Cody on my bed, Cody drooling everywhere.

"Gross! MOM! CODY STINKS!"

"Cody! Come on mister,there's a bowl of mashed up bananas with your name written all over it"

"Come on Maddie! Today's the day of the field trip! I'm going to the awarqium"

"You mean the aquarium?"

"Yeah,the awarquim"Ben was in Kindergarten and got confused with words over 2 syllables.

Just then Dad walked passed my room "Dad, you are seriously not wearing that!"

"Wearing what?"

He was wear his old"New York"shirt he found at the back of the closet last week. He said it was from when he did "Empire State of Mind"whatever that is


When he entered the classroom,immediatly there were questions"You're not wearing that are you sir?"He had his usual stuff on except it was slightly more formal than usual "You're right,I'm not,aaaand cue the music!"

Grampa Will who was lurking in the corner switched on one of those iPod speakers,what happened next was totally unexpected,the Superman theme began playing and he pulled his shirt to reveal the Superman shirt Mom got him for his Birthday

"Cool shirt sir!"

"Everyone on the bus! I repeat everyone on the bus!"

Everyone crowded onto the minibus,Dad driving and Grampa Will in the front. The reason everyone calls Will "Grampa Will"is because he's just like a Grampa.

"Hey Grampa Will, can we have the iPod on?" a voice from the back called

"Can we pleeeeease?"

"Daddy, can we have the iPod on?" Natalie pouted. I guess it's kind of weird for her and Finn to have their Dad called Grampa

Dad has a whole playlist of songs selected by the class, each person had 2 songs

"Alright,we have...Alvin and the Chipmunks,Mcfly,JLS,S Club,The Jonas Brothers,Justin Bieber,and a whole lotta High School Musical"

Everyone was enjoying the songs till "Bohemian Rhapsody" came on when Dad (who was in the passenger seat at the time) did that famous head banging scene from a movie called "Wayne's World"


We finally reached King's Island 2 hours later

"Once we get through the gates,you can go off but remember,stick together and we're meeting back at the bus at half five"

"But sir,that's not all day!"

"Sorry Jacob,I don't make the rules,I just follow em,me and Will will be around if you need us,here are your tickets for getting in,take one pass it on"

I was in a group with Amy, Grace, Natalie and Oliver (Natalie's friend who's in Mrs Hummel's class. We all think he's gay but we don't tell him). Luckily I had my trusty camcorder Dad got me for my birthday last week with me.

There was a bit of an argument on what to go on first

Oliver wanted to go on Slingshot but it was $10 a go and Mom only gave me $15

Amy and Grace wanted to go on Viking Fury, and Natalie wanted to go on Invertigo. So I suggested to go on the ride which was closest which turned out to be Diamondback.

"Hey Ollie! Say hi to the camera!"

"Hi to the camera"

Just then we got stopped by the person in charge"Sorry dudes,no personal stuff on the ride,if it was up to me then cameras would be allowed but if I let you on with a camera,then I'd get in trouble"

Once we were strapped in I knew there was no going back. I felt someone squeeze my hand and looked to my left to find Jacob clinging onto it.

"Jacob,are you SCARED?"

"No"he squeaked
