Receive Text UpdatesI love how happy I feel when I’m outside. I love that God created so many beautiful things and that I get to go out and explore it every day! I really love all the creatures I can watch and learn about and maybe even hold if I’m careful.
I love salamanders. I live near the great smoky mountain national park and there are over 30 species of salamanders and I’ve seen a lot of them! They are different colors and types. I especially love the Red Cheek salamander that only live in my park! I love to look for them when I am camping with my daddy.
My favorite outdoor activity is camping and going to look under rocks and in the streams for salamanders. We find crawdads too! I also like to eat s’mores by the campfire with my family.
