Today I went on a field trip to one of my favorite places downtown, Navy Pier. Its soo huge! It has lots of cool thing like a Children's museum, lots of cool shops, lots of place to eat, a stained glass museum, an Imax movie theatre, and a huge Ferris Wheel. I was put into a bad group, so I went off with my friends. We first had coffee, then we walked for a while, then we had lunch, then we walked some more, then we saw a cool Imax movie about dinosaurs, and then it was time to go. (that was a really long sentence) We were done with the movie early, so my teacher, Ms. V, told us we could have 20 more minutes to walk around. I went off with my friend, Sam, to get something to drink, but instead we bought ice cream from Ben & Jerry's. We walked down the pier, and when we came back my teacher flipped out! She's like, "Where were you?! You're late!" Then we got in trouble and she was mad the whole rest of the day until her brothers came in with her niece. She was soo cute! Then one of her brothers told us our names in Italian, well almost everyone. I was one of the 3 people to have a name that meant nothing in Italian. Melanie (my full name), Ryan, and Lilly apparently have no meaning in Italian. Anyway, that was my day. :D

Lots of love,

Lana
