Byron would pick playing outside over watching TV any day. He has insatiable thirst to get dirty, run thru the forest,& discover new things!

My son loves nature because it gives him the freedom to explore and run wild under the sunshine. He finds joy in swimming in lakes, feeling the cool water rush past. Every trail is an adventure, every tree a new discovery. He collects pinecones and sticks like treasures, building forts and stories from the forest floor. Nature is his playground, his classroom, and his happy place.
My son has loved crocodiles ever since he saw them up close at Everglades National Park. That moment sparked a fascination with their fierce nature, powerful swimming, and scaly armor. He’s amazed by how they glide through water and hide so well in their surroundings. To him, crocodiles are the ultimate explorers—strong, stealthy, and wild—just like he dreams to be.
My son loves camping because it’s a time to be wild and free with family and friends. He explores the woods, imagines new worlds with every bug and stick, and finds magic in the rustling leaves/wildlife. Nights by a bonfire are the best—telling stories, roasting s’mores, and watching stars sparkle. Camping feeds his adventurous spirit and love for nature.
