A walk in the park...

My 5-year-old daughter and I went to a park yesterday and saw a lot of wildlife. We saw a bunch of frogs...and when we would throw little rocks in the water, the frog would dive and swim to the place the rock had hit...not sure why. Maybe he thought the rock was a female frog with whom he could hook up ? We saw a mother cat andher three little kittens. We saw a mother skunk and two little skunklings (don't worry, we didn't pull a Fred and try to take them home with us). :) We saw peacocks and she chased a peahen (why are female birds so ugly again?). We also saw dragonflies. It was fun to spend a little time with her in the park. She didn't want to go home she was having so much fun.

The frog is probably used to people feeding it stuff and thought the rock was food.

Female birds are ugly because they don't want to draw attention to the nest. Male birds are pretty so they can get predators attention and take them away from the nest (among other reasons).

Sounds like you had fun. Those are the things people seem to remember so it's good you do that with your kids.
