Growing up in Michigan, Kale loves exploring the trails and woods. He’s really into foraging. But he enjoys playing at the Lake Michigan beaches almost as much. He’s always looking for new discoveries or natural treasures—he’s a great rock hound! But this last year, since he’s so campy, we went out west and did a long stay in Colorado. He fell in love with the mountains. So much so that he wore his tires down on all the bike trails I took him to. His favorites were out in the Breckenridge area
He said: “Easy, my dog Bodhi. Otherwise, Capybara. What’s not to love about those giant guinea pigs?” Kale’s saving up money to go have an 1hour long capybara experience up at farm a couple hours north of us. He said they are really playful like dogs and have really great personalities.
Anything on a bicycle. Although winter sports have taken off for him and his interest in skiing has gained ground, he discovered fat tire trail biking this winter. He’s certainly a little gear head however you slice it. But if it’s not that, it’s got to be camping. He loves finding and setting up camp back country. He’s very into outdoor cooking— especially if fishing and foraging are on the menu. Bottom line? This kid is so into being outside as much as possible, weather permitting.
