Today, we went to Mackinac Island. We rode a ferry there. There are no cars allowed on the island. The main part of the day was at Fort Mackinac. Instead of Redcoats, there were American soldiers at this fort. We went on a soldier’s tour, and the man who was leading it told us a little bit about a soldier’s life. Then we did a cannon firing. About 15 minutes later, we went to a gun firing, and then about another 15 minutes later, we did a children’s tour. We got to play 1800s games. Some were like from the Colonial period, but they also they had Jacob’s ladder. Later, we explored the houses and buildings. We left the fort and we walked along the streets looking for postcards and other kinds of souvenirs. My Grandpa bought us two soft pretzels and a Coke. I got a souvenir penny, a magnet, and six postcards. I’m going to play on the playground soon. I had a good time at Mackinac Island.
