What are Igneous rocks that have large crystals and small crystals?
Igneous rocks with large crystals are called intrusive rocks, formed from magma cooling slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for large crystals to form. Igneous rocks with small crystals are called extrusive rocks, formed from lava cooling quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small crystals due to rapid cooling.
Why does it take thousands or millions of years to create sedimentary rocks when it may only take minutes to form igneous-?
It takes a long time for sedimentary rocks because the rocks have to break down in small pieces. The rocks are from the surfaces or the crust.
Why do some igneous rocks have big crystals or grains and some igneous rocks have small crystals or grains?

What type of rock is the boulder on the lake shore made of where did it form and how did it get out of the ground?
The boulder on the lake shore was probably scraped out of the ground and moved to that location during the last Ice Age, by a moving glacier. It is very likely an igneous rock of some kind. But boulders can be made from many kinds of rocks. As for where it formed, ultimately, certain types of elements, silicon, iron, aluminum, oxygen, and various others, can combine in certain ways to form rock; these atoms were originally present in a cloud of interstellar gas that condensed to form the solar system as we know it today. It is possible to trace the origin of the rocks back further, to the big bang if you wish, but that makes it more complicated.
