Luisenpark (October 8, 2012)

 

On Monday, October 8, 2012, Reception 1 went to Luisenpark in Mannheim with Reception 2. At the park, we walked (a lot), looked for autumn things, saw many birds, animals, and insects, and had a great day! Special thanks to Julie Depla and Diana Hatz for joining us at the park. 

Waiting for the Strassenbahn

The tram was late and filled with double the people

but we squeezed in

shared seats

 

 

and enjoyed the ride!

We crossed the bridge over the Neckar River

and walked alongside the park

We saw bright green parrots in the trees

and looked for fall leaves and other things

One bird stayed near us (until he got chased)

but then he came back

We found mushrooms of different kinds

and we picked up anything that reminded us of autumn

We looked under trees and found chestnuts

and an earthworm

Flamingoes

and caterpillars!

The coat carriers (so kind)

and the otters

A shark pool

Wow!

 

Little people need a boost sometimes

To see the big lizards inside!

 

The desert tortoise lives longer than a human!
