Angel is your typical tree-hugging 4th grader, happy in the tall grass and tick-infested woodlands. She likes all things insect except spiders and will even eat a worm if given the chance.I took her to the annual Bug Fest at Oak Grove Regional Park yesterday where she got some hands on education about critters. Hundreds of kids watched bug races, netted insects for identification, perused the Nature Center, heard presentations on a number of related subjects and had a chance to eat millworms (drenched in chocolate, of course).
We were overwhelmed with the hoards of kids and parents (and grandparents), all flowing through a diminutive Nature Center filled with stuffed animals, snakes, lizards, turtles, Indian displays, and other indicators of San Joaquin Valley life and history. Angel was fascinated by the model skulls and bones of little animals and deer and a pelican beak which you could handle. Collecting skeletal remains aren't my hobby, thankfully.
There is a full series of these park pictures here: Bug Fest Pictures And you can see Angel's park pictures here: Photog Angel.
