My first day as a Junior Ranger
Lenny woke me up around 7:00 in the morning (with the
help of his dog Swedgen jumping on me) so we could go get some breakfast. Lenny
got us coffee and egg, cheese, and sausage sandwich. Mwah!! It was delicious.
Then we headed to Squam farm…in the wrong direction. Squam farm is a property
owned by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation. The NCF raises chickens,
turkeys, and sheep there. After getting directions, we rested in the shade next
to a fence. That was until Lenny rolled onto the fence and got zapped. It
looked and felt like a cloth wire which when rubbed upon by human or animal,
gives shock a little bit more potent than static electricity. Then when the
tourists arrived, Lenny along the way to the pens showed off things like sand
wasp nests, plants and an inch worm which climbed onto my foot. Me and a fellow
junior ranger Henry, really cool kid with a great sense of humor and is willing
to eat anything. He also gave me a Boston crème donut with chocolate glaze two
days later like he promised. Mmm. We helped answer people who had further
questions. Once we got to the sheep pen, I instructed the kids to approach the
sheep (who acted a lot like dogs lol) slowly and to make no sudden moves so
they could pet it, before taking a boatload of pictures. We then went to see
the turkeys. They act almost like velocoraptors from Jurassic park. They pounce
from the bush’s to scare you, have claws and scaly skin, same sorta eyes and
noises, travel in packs only difference is feathers and the fact that they’re
vegetarians. We then all went home. That was my ……
First day as a Junior Ranger!!
