I love nature ’cause it’s like a big playground with no bedtime. I love nature ‘cause it has dirt for digging, bugs to chase, trees for hiding, and the lake where I splash like a fish and make castles outta sand. I love that the lake is splashy, the sand is squishy, and I can make a big castle just to smoosh it with my dirt toys.
Lion — I love nature ’cause I can ride my bike super fast—RAWRRR!—like a lion chasing the wind! The dirt goes flying, the trees zoom past, and I pretend I have a big fluffy mane. Sometimes I stop and roar at the bushes just in case there’s another lion hiding.
Mountain Biking — I love nature ’cause I can ride my bike really, really fast—zoom!—and the trees cheer for me with their leaves! The trail is like a rollercoaster made of dirt, and sometimes I go so fast my helmet feels like it’s flying. Nature is my jungle, and my bike is my paws—it’s the best way to go exploring!
