Wild Walnut Park


                         Over the weekend my family went to park called Wild Walnut Park.

A sign there said that Wild Walnut Park provides food, shelter, nesting, and hiding places for birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and insects. These trees are oak trees, Native Americans used oak tree branches for utensils, cradle boards and fire wood. They played games with acorns, leached and ground as bait in traps. Spanish explorers cut oak trees to build houses, barns, and fences.

 Wow! Look at the tree! Notice the bright sunlight coming through the green leaves. My brother, Jake, and I climbed on the branches, and we had a wonderful time. We even pretended that we were in the Olympics doing gymnastics on the balance beam. : )
