What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreYou might think Ava's all about nature's mysteries, but when you ask her, she'll tell you it's the sounds, colors, textures, and all the cool places that they live. She likes the chirps of crickets, the “yuuurup” of a pond frog, and the looks of the feathery gils of an axolotl. Ask her the axolotl, she’ll tell you all about them!
Ava fancies the felines, and her two best buddies, Sprinkles and MeMe, joined our family last year from the local shelter. She's smitten with their different fur patterns and their funny little ways. She loves it when they race around, and she gets a kick out of how they "make biscuits" on her arm.
With some old pots and pans, buckets of water, and dirt, Ava can entertain herself for hours, concocting elaborate mud cuisine and beverages. Her other passion is roller skating. Her essentials for skating are her flashing pink and purple knee pads and her kitten helmet to complete her look.
