    Our Nature Hike!




    We went on a nature hike and we found a mama granddaddy longlegs. I was a bit surprised because it had eight little red babies on its legs! The granddaddy longlegs was red and fat and it had eight legs as well. It was hard to take a picture of the mama because she wouldn’t stay still. We also saw a beautiful sweat pea flower. It was purple and it was shaped in a weird way. It wasn’t really big or small. I had to be really quiet on our nature hike and it was hard for me. We also had to listen really good so we wouldn't scare any creatures away. Also, we had to look with our eyes to see them. The weather was calm. We had rain last night and it made the pictures look prettier.

    Baylee I liked the way you wrote about the mama granddaddy longlegs. It was so cool that you saw mama longleg with babies on it. The Sweet Pea I bet had a wonderful smell. Your paragraph was great.
