Frog Fest 09

This year we decided to take Landon to Frog Fest. It was held at a park in Apex that Brian and I never knew was there called Crowder Park. It ended up being a beautiful Spring day for a day at the park. We decided to pack a picnic lunch to eat while we were out there. We got there a little early so we decided to let Landon play on the playground that was there near where we parked. It was a great playground, it had different levels for different age groups and it had a lot of different things to do. I wish I had taken a picture of the playground while we were there. When 10am came around we decided to walk the trail from the playground to get to where Frog Fest was being held, which was in a big open field. They actually had stuff for you to look at as you walked one of the trails. They gave Landon a card that was on a string for him to wear around his neck that had a lily pad on it divided into 8 different segments. They had 8 different stations for the kids to do things to learn how a frog lives. After he did each activity they put a stamp on the card and when he got all 8 stamps he was able to get a little prize at the prize tent. They had a few things to choose from like a pencil and pad of paper, a small squirt frog, and small snake, small turtle, and a small stuffed frog. Landon chose the small squirt frog. He was also able to get a tattoo and they had a shoe box full of different things to choose from having to do with frogs, insect, and fish. They had lots of different booths to learn about frogs and turtles and there was a scavenger hunt where you filled out questions at each booth and turned it in for a bigger prize like t-shirt, water bottle, etc. Landon was also able to touch different animals that people brought like a bunny, bearded dragon, snake, and turtles. Over all I think we all had a good time.
