Cox Arboretum

Today we went to Cox Arboretum. I played in the pond and caught bullfrogs.While I was still at the pond I fed some potato wedges, and chocolate chip cookies to the fish and turtles. Eventually all that commotion attracted a large alligator snapping turtle.  It would stand still in the water and then pop up to eat an entire cookie whole. This reminded me a little of myself. As an introvert I often am one of the last people to join a group, but in the end I have some of the most fun out of anyone there. Later I was able to identify at least five types of trees: River birch, Bur oak, Sweet gum, Irish spruce, redwood, and blue spruce. Today was a blast and I had a great time getting my feet wet and hiking around the arboretum.
