He’s beginning to ask how everything in nature works together, from the bugs in the dirt to the clouds in the sky. Being outdoors helps him feel connected to something bigger.
Jacob’s current favorite animal is a baby giraffe. We recently visited the Dallas Zoo, where he had the unforgettable opportunity to feed one! It was such a cool and meaningful experience that really shows the impact zoos can have on a child’s education and love for animals. We thought it was incredible that a kid in Dallas, TX gets to hand-feed a giraffe!
Jacob is loving T-ball this year, his first team sport! He’s always been full of energy, and it’s been so fun watching him learn, run, and grow more confident with each game. When he’s not on the field, he’s happiest outside exploring or racing around at the local parks.
