Wetlands Adventures During my childhood, Ryan could always interest me with all of his knowledge about reptiles, amphibians and other cool animals. He would occasionally go to the wetlands to catch animals. He would invite me and Jimmy, my little brother, to go with him sometimes. I enjoyed watching him find and catch animals, while teaching us too. One time, we found a huge bullfrog and we took it home. We also found rubber boas and other snakes. He would point out all of these cool things that I wouldn’t have noticed before, like how and where to find snakes. These trips are some of my favorite childhood memories, and they make me smile whenever I think of them.
