My child comes alive in the natural world. From watching the weather patterns to studying plant and animal life. It brings her so much joy!

My most favorite thing to do in nature is to watch the weather. The storms that produce lightning make me scared, but also happy. I feel God‘s presence all around me. I like seeing lightning strike in the sky. The lightning bolts come in different sizes. Lightning can cause damage to trees, which I’ve seen in my backyard. One day I think it would be fun to be a storm chaser!
I really like African animals, but my favorite is the Leopard . They climb trees to eat their prey. They can lay down up in a tree on its branches, while they eat. They don’t want other animals to eat the prey that they have caught. A few weeks after Cubs are born they play with their siblings. I enjoy watching documentaries that show their play.
My favorite outdoor activity is creative play in the woods. My sisters and I build pretend campfires, forts, and meals. We use the small creek we have to water plants near our forts. We have a small, empty Dawn dish soap container, for collecting Creek water for our pretend play. This is my favorite outdoor activity.
