She climbs trees like a squirrel, hikes through trails with wide eyes, and splashes in creeks until she’s soaked and laughing. Sleeping in a tent under the stars is the best part it’s like the world becomes her backyard. Nature lets her run wild, explore, and dream big, all in the fresh air and sunshine.
Calista’s favorite animals are nature’s little wonders—turtles, because they lay eggs and tiny babies hatch out, like a quiet surprise. She loves ladybugs with their bright red shells and little black spots, like flying gems. And worms—wiggly, slimy, and fun to watch as they squirm through the dirt. To Calista, each one is part of an outdoor adventure, and she’s always ready to explore, hands muddy and eyes full of wonder.
Calista’s favorite outdoor adventures are full of curiosity and fun. She hunts for bugs like a tiny explorer, rides her bike fast and free, and fills her pockets with leaves and shiny seashells from the creek. She wades through mud, chasing little crawdads with big focus and a big smile. It’s messy, exciting, and full of wonder the kind of wild, muddy, happy childhood every kid should have.
