MSU Field Trip

Today, my class went to the Michigan State University for a field trip. We had so much fun!!! Here are the pics I took (there are more, but i had to choose my favorites):

This is before we left. This is my friend Grace, posing for the camera.

This is on our way to the University. I sat with my friends Courtney and Kendall.

This is my friend Laura. Isn't she gorgeous??

Seth Ganton, weird as always!!

Before we went to MSU, we stopped at the museum. Really cool stuff!! I had a ton of fun.



OK, this just grossed me out. Look at the lady's nose ring. It attaches to her head, trails down, goes into her nose, and then out again. I had to get a pic.

We got to go into this display, which was a general store. It was really cool because this guy unlocked it just for us! Here are my friends Brooklynn and Meagan playing old fashioned checkers.



There was this sweet display of butterflies from the smallest to the biggest. The smallest one was the size of a pinhead. Kewl!

For all you Moose lovers out there!!

After the museum, we headed towards the University and stopped by a statue of "Sparty." I got everyone to smile. It was hard work!!

Andru Maynard: Arm Climber.

At the entrance to the University, there was a large statue of Magic Johnson.

We went inside the Breslin Center and our tour guide showed us a sweet trophy case, and inside, along with trophies, were chairs that Tom Izzo, the head basketball coach, sat in, in each of the Final Four games that they had been to. It was pretty sweet!


Then, we got to go inside the stadium!!!! It was awesome.


Next, our tour guide showed us a little room that, when big games happened, all of the team's family and friends got to hang out in and they could watch TV, have refreshments, get to know each other, all sorts of stuff. I only got a pic of the flat screen.

Then we got to walk on the court. The wood wasn't on yet, because, like Auburn Hills, they have celebrities perform here with there stages and stuff. They had just had some-famous-guy-that-i-have-never-heard-of perform there. Sorry, this pic is kinda blurry. Not very good lighting.


This is the "Retired Players Hall of Fame" where all of the State players who have decided to stop playing and come back to watch a game get to sign."

This Magic Johnson's signature!! Fancy!


We went into a viewing center and saw a practice gym where a couple girl State players were practicing. Didn't get the chance to snap a pic of the girls.

This is TOM IZZO! He came out of his office (it was a sweet office!! flat screen, couch, all that jazz!!) (i peeked in the windows) and said hi to us. It was awesome!! (and this is coming from a Michigan fan!!)

On the way to the Cafe to eat lunch!! Hallelujah!! Me and Grace were goofing off. Dorks that we are!

The Cafe. It was really nice!! And I mean really! Grace committed to going here just because of the food!!


My friend Jen. She was super hyper!! She had like fifty cups of Coke (non decaffeinated!!) and we gave her coffee, not knowing what it was going to do to her! She was bouncing off the walls!!

My pals!!

This is one of the many buff guys we randomly walked up to and asked to take a picture with them. His name is Will. He had big muscles. The girl on the top, (Seirra) thinks he is cute.

This is Marcus! We ambushed him while he was getting his food.

This is Drew. He was minding his own business, listening to his Ipod, when....

This is Eric! He is a chef here at the University.

This is one of our chaperons, Mr. Fortress. He is very buff.

And this is Chad. We all thought that he was cute. He also has very big muscles. The girl behind me on the right (Ceily), thinks she looks like a monkey. A very cute monkey, I told her.

This is on the way to the Dairy Farm. Me, Grace, and Dillon. Happy times!!



Who do you think Grace looks like in this photo?? Answer on comments.

And here we are at the Dairy Farm!! It stunk like poo really bad. We were going to go to the planetarium, but it got canceled and we had to come here instead. It was fun though.

I had a sweet time at MSU. Even though I am a Michigan fan, I would come back here any day. I had a lot of fun.

GO BLUE!
