Receive Text UpdatesOur 7-year-old has a wild heart for the outdoors—he loves climbing trees, hiking trails, collecting rocks (especially the “shiny” ones), and getting muddy on adventures through the woods. There’s something about nature that brings him alive—every stick becomes a sword, every hill a mountain to conquer. We love seeing the world through his eyes!
Kaden’s favorite animal isn’t found in the wild—it’s his loyal sidekick, Piper, our chocolate lab. Wherever there’s an adventure, Piper is right by his side—whether it’s hiking a trail, splashing in a creek, or exploring the backyard like it’s uncharted territory. These two are best friends, partners in crime, and the perfect pair of explorers.
Kaden’s favorite outdoor activity? Hands down—collecting sticks and rocks on the trails he proudly trail-blazes. Every hike turns into a treasure hunt as he scouts out the coolest sticks (often turned into swords or walking staffs) and the most unique rocks to add to his growing collection. He’s our little explorer, always ready for the next adventure!
