Have you ever absolutely wanted to do something stupid ,but when you finally do it you instantly regret it.Well, I know about that all too well. It was a stunning summer day at the Waco Zoo,right before the start of kindergarden.The trees waved at us in the marvelous breeze,and clouds gave us shade like a pavillian.Me and my best friend, Max were wizzing around looking at the cool animals,like the majestic pecoks for example. We decided to take a break and stop at the park with miles of amazing animal shaped playground equipment.When Max saw kids leaping off of an wide snake mouth and thought it would be a blast...Well it was,for him anyway.First,Max hopped off of the 10 ft mouth and told me it was a blast.

  • Personal Narrative: Elizabeth A Morton National Wildlife Refuge

    476 Words  | 2 Pages

    Considering the fact that I have lived on eastern long island all my life, it would be thought that I’ve been to all the wildlife refuges possible. Strangely enough, I have never even heard of the “Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge” right off of Noyack Road. This is an upsetting thing after our hike there, it is one of the best refuges I’ve been to in a very long time. The paths are well marked, the bridges and walk ways are well made also the fact that you can literally have wild birds eat out of your hand is amazing. Although this didn’t happen, I’ve been told not just on the hike but by friends that the squirrels and chipmunks will eat out of your hand as well.
