What does Aspen love most about nature?

Exploring the outdoors to find pretty flowers, cool rocks, and cute animals. Snakes, lizards, bunny rabbits, ants, salamanders, tasty fungi like chanterelles, and the list goes on and on.. We never get bored when we're outside!


What is Aspen's favorite animal—and why?

Texas horned lizards! Aspen and her dad recently found them while driving through Kansas and she fell in love. She says they are "squishy and cute, with cute little legs, eyes, AND horns." Favorite zoo animals: baby giraffes and penguins. She thinks giraffes are adorable, and loves the way that penguins waddle


What is Aspen's favorite outdoor activity?

Anything involving water! She loves splashing around in creeks, finding interesting rocks on the banks, and even exploring big rivers while going on canoe trips with her dad. When it's not warm enough for the water, bike rides and hikes are fun too!
