Exploring the backyard and finding bugs

Written by Sumire Kamado on Mon Apr 08 2024

Today was so much fun! I went outside to explore the backyard with Mama and Papa. The sun was shining, and the birds were chirping. I love being outside and feeling the grass under my little feet.

I walked around, looking at all the flowers and plants. Some of them had pretty colors, like pink and yellow. Mama showed me how to touch them gently without hurting them. It's fun to feel different textures on my fingers.

As I walked further into the backyard, I saw some bugs crawling around. They were so tiny and moved really fast! Mama told me they're called ants and that they work together as a team to find food for their colony. It's amazing how nature works in such harmony.

I tried catching one of the ants with my hands, but it kept running away from me. Maybe it didn't want to play with me? That's okay; there are plenty more bugs in the garden for me to discover.

Papa lifted me up so I could see higher up into a tree where a squirrel was jumping from branch to branch. Its fluffy tail looked so soft! I giggled as it chattered at us before scurrying off somewhere else.

After exploring for a while, we sat down on a blanket in the shade of a big tree. Mama brought out some snacks for us all to enjoy together - juicy strawberries that tasted sweet on my tongue.

I felt sleepy after all that excitement but didn't want our adventure to end just yet. So instead of going inside right away, we stayed outside until sunset painted streaks of orange across the sky.

It was such an incredible day full of new discoveries in our own backyard. Even though I'm still small and learning about this big world around me, moments like these make everything feel magical.
