Guess what! Yesterday mommy and I went to Wilson Park to ride bikes. First we rode on the path that goes to the camping area. The gate to block the cars from coming wasn't there any more. We guessed that that was for the campers. A little bit further we got to the field. We rolled down the little hill a few times and then moved on. When we got to the hill I had to get off my bike and push it because it's too steep for me. Once we got to the top of the hill there's a fork in the road. We decided to go to the right. We rode down a little hill and up a big one. When we got to the top of the hill there was a house, and there were two people in front with a cat. One of them waved at me. Then we moved on. We went up and down a few little hills and then finally to our surprise we came out back where we drive in right in front of the booth. So we decided to go back to the parking lot from there. Once we got back to the parking lot we went back to the camping area. Just as we got to the top of the hill I got thirsty so we had to go back to the car to get the water. When we got back to the car and I had my water we found a really cool mushroom. It looked like a smurf lived in it. It was orange and had little white bumps on it. Then we decided to go sit on a bench by the water. That's when we saw the turtle. It was on the sand digging a hole with its hind legs. It had eighteen sections on its shell. (Mommy counted them.) The brim of its shell was yellow. It had red on its legs and a little bit on its head. We figured out that it was digging a nest. It would scoop some sand up with one of its legs and pour it out behind the hole, then do the same thing with the other leg. The turtle did this for 20 minutes, and then it laid its eggs. It laid nine eggs. They were white, and some of them had an orange tint. Then we had to go home. When we got home I looked on the computer and figured out it was a painted turtle. I also figured out how long it took for baby turtles to hatch. It said about 2 months and a week. So when it's time we will go and try to see them.
The End.
