Margaret wants a ride
on Trolley!
- Ga ga ga!

- Oh no! A great big Margaret
dinosaur has trolley!

Roar, Baby Margaret! Rawwwr.
- Rawr!

- Hey, what's
that red thing?

Look! It's a bird!
Hi, red bird!

Hey, another bird!

Hi, brown bird!

Look at their
little heads moving.

And look at
their tiiiny feet.

- Bah!
- They're so pretty.

Hey wait, birds!
- Buuh.
- Where did they go?

Do you see them?

They're gone.

Mom, can we go outside
and look for them? Please?
- I'd love to go outside!

- Did someone say go outside?

I want to find the birds.

- The red bird! Let's follow it!
(chirping)

Eep eep eep! Tweet tweet!
(giggling)

Eep eep eep!

What is the bird doing?

Little bird, are you
exploring like me?

The bird's picking up leaves.

Why do you think
he's doing that?

(giggling)

Hey, where are you going,

little bird? There's
the brown bird, too.

Maybe they're having
a leaf dinner. Ha, ha, ha!

Like leaf spaghetti.

Or a leaf hamburger!

Hey, what's the bird doing

with that stick? It looks like

the birds are building.
- Good observing, Daniel.

I think they're
building a nest, see?

- The bird is putting
the stick into the nest.
- Uh-huh. She's tucking it in.

The birds are building
a nice cozy home.
- I want to help them.

- That's a nice idea,
my fuzzy little guy.

- Let's look for leaves and
sticks for the birds' nest.

Crouch down! Hmm...
no leaves here...

Let's keep exploring.
(giggling)

The grass is tickling me.

It feels like a jungle in here.

It's very quiet.

Whoa! Look at that leaf!

It looks so smooth.

Hey! It's moving.

Hey, leaf! Gotcha! Huh?

This little ant was
carrying that big leaf?!

Hey, wait! I need that leaf
for the birds' nest.

Whoa...

So many little ants...

and leaves.

They are so strong all together.

Where do you think
they're all going?

Let's explore with them.

Look! They're going
into that hole.

Maybe they're building something
down there. I wish we could
explore underground,

and see what they're doing.
Hey, do you want to make
believe with me?

Let's make believe

that we can explore
the ant world!

- OK, meow meow.
- Hey, look, some sticks.

- Look at that.
- These sticks are kind of rough

and bumpy.
- What's this?

- Will you look with me?

What could the birds use?

Ooh! This feels soft,
like a pillow.

Look. It's fuzzy. Just like me.

- Daniel, what about this grass?
- Oh, it's so long

and pointy. Let's take it.

in his nest!

too, meow meow!

(giggling)
- She tweeted at me!

- Tweet tweet! I tweeted back!
(giggling)

- Oh. It's a little windy.
- Whoosh! Look at me!

I'm dancing like the wind.

- And the leaves are dancing!

You can dance like the wind,
too. Dance with us!

- Whoa. That was
a lot of wind.

Oh no! The birds'
nest fell!

- Meow meow,
the wind blew it down.
- That's their home.

Where will they live?
What should we do?

Dad! Dad!

Can you help us?
- What's going on?
- Look.

The birds' nest
fell out of the tree.
- We need to put it back.

- Can you help us?
- Yes.

This is definitely
a job for a grown-up.

Here we go. It's up there
nice and tight now.

I touched that nest.
I better wash my hands.
- Let's see if the birds go back

to their home...

Look...
- That's so cool!

- They're back in their home.
And the nest is safe.

can explore again!

Being outside is grr-ific.

Ugga Mugga!

Let's go see
a neighbor like you!

- Lukawu's family is playing
in the park after dinner.

Lukawu is really good at soccer!

The sun looks like it's moving
across the sky. It will be
night time soon.

- Look at the sunset.

Pretty amazing, huh?

Let's go watch with Mama, OK?

- Ah, sometimes
it's nice to take time

to watch the sunset.

Oh, what a beautiful sunset.

Enjoy that beautiful sunset,
Neighbor.

neighbors with you.

Whoa.

Hi, Neighbor. Look
what I found in my backyard.

Who's ready to go
on our nature walk?

if it might rain?

The maple tree bark feels
bumpier than the fern.

is called sap.

Hmm, it must have fallen

OK, ready to go off
the trail a little bit?

- Mm-hmm.
- Great, I want to take
a little adventure

to see this big tree up here.

Take a nice big step over that.

Alright, let's go hiking up
a little ways. Wow, look

That is just huge.
- Mm-hmm.

- I betcha you couldn't get your
arms around that tree, could
you? That is such a big one.

See if you can get the... oh!

Shall we look and see if maybe
there's something on the back of
this fern that's kind of neat?

Look at that. Have you used
a magnifying glass before? Ah,
you're an expert, alright.

No, but you're doing it right,
you're putting it right up
to your eye.

So, look on the backside
of the fern and see...

Yeah, what do you see there?
- There's like these little
things poking out.

- Yeah, little tiny dots.

- I want to look at the creek.
- You want to look at the creek?

Many eyes...

- Oh!

- Shall we keep
going on our walk?
- Yeah! Bye, neighbor!

- I like these visits with you.
