This morning we traveled to Town Creek Park to have a scavenger hunt and look for animals in the pond. We walked around the edge of the pond, at the water’s edge, and saw many animals. We saw thousands of tiny frogs and toads on the bank, tiny fish and tadpoles and swimming insects. There were dragonflies buzzing over the surface of the water. We came upon a large red slider sunning itself on the bank. From the pavilion we could see many turtles and larger fish swimming around. A woman was throwing bread to them so they came very close. We saw a large soft shelled turtle. We also observed students running laps around the pond.

After the pond, we found some shade and ate a snack then we played with balls,and the parachute and on the playground too. We enjoyed our trip so much. We will plan on visiting the park regularly!
