Adventure at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary

On the last day of March, we had fun at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary with the Pences, Ceccinis and McKinneys. We hiked to the water hole and Thomas was our guide. When we arrived, we were going to play football. Thomas was good a futbol not football. Unfortunately, before we started it was time for the picnic. I ate more baguette that turkey☺. After the picnic, Thomas reviewed  the safety rules. Kaleb kept adding to not get mauled by a bear.

 

The hike was a total of four miles, and we were proceeding excitedly to the water hole. We saw two garter snakes on the way. Lucas touched Stinging Nettle and Poison Oak. We were stomping in the snake area to scare them.

 

Finally, we arrived at our destination. It was the watering hole. We saw a water snake which had a really thin body. Lindy captured a newt. Some people held and/or touched the newt. I’m glad I didn’t because it was poisonous! Thomas filtered some water with his portable water filterer. The water tasted far better than normal. Kate and Ciara kept asking for more. People walked on the rocks, and I did. Thomas started bouldering. I joined soon after but not soon enough. When I started, it was time to leave.

 

On the way back Luke almost got bit by a rattlesnake! He was about  five inches away! Quickly, Thomas tried to hit the snake with a stick. He failed and succeeded. He missed, and the snake bit the stick instead. Before we finished the trek, we saw a Pacific Ringneck.
Not everyone returned home right after the hike. We walked into the museum and looked at the animals. After everyone but the Ceccins left, they bought us ice cream. Ian and I had a puppet show with Billy, a caterpillar, Bob, a deer and Joe an eagle. Billy was fighting Bob and killed Bob. Joe came and Billy thought Joe was coming to celebrate, but instead Joe ate him. That was the plan but more things happened. Then Lucas came and used a frog puppet. The moms watched. Meanwhile, Kate and Sarah were doing art. Next, we went to the park. Lucas, Ian and I played football. Then, we threw rocks over the play equipment. We needed to go to the bathroom so went at a volunteer fire station. THE WHOLE DAY WAS AWESOME AND AWESOME AND AWESOME!  Everything Is Awesome
