Addie loves the amount of natural aspects she can explore outside. She loves that everything is dynamic (always changing). Addie is often drawn to nature's sensory experiences, the freedom to explore, & the opportunities for discovery. She loves the sights, sounds, smells, & textures of the natural world, finding it a source of wonder & fascination. She gets to engage with her surroundings in a hands-on way, whether it's climbing a tree, playing in the mud, or looking for insects & animals.
Addie's favorite animal changes often as she learns & experiences them. Her favorite insect is a ladybug. She enjoys axolotls a lot, "because they are always happy." She loves domesticated birds like parots, as much as wild birds, especially cardinals & the ducks she feeds with Pop-Pop. The true top favorite changes often based on her recently spotting &/or learning about it. Currently she loves Pandas after recent Smithsonian zoo trip in Washington, D.C. Her dogs are her "favorite girl & boy"
Addie doesn't have any singular favorite outdoor activity. If it's outside, it is her favorite! She loves "water days", she loves hiking/exploring, she loves exploring the backyard as much as state/national parks, & even loves the outdoors rain or shine. For her, anything outside is her favorite activity just simply because she is outside! She can make any activity fun & enjoyable with her inquisitive nature & ongoing quest for new or old adventures with exploration.
