Receive Text UpdatesLila loves to experience and learn about all living things and their unique qualities. She appreciates the vibrancy of plant life, the wonderment of insects, and the intelligence of animals -- and how all living things make our world beautiful!
Lila's favorite animal is a sea otter. She adores sea otters' fuzzy fur, cute faces, ability to live in the sea and on land, and intelligence in using tools. She also loves to watch otters swim because she loves swimming and playing in water, too!
Swimming! From swimming pools, to rivers, lakes, and oceans - Lila has never met a body of water she didn't enjoy. Lila has been lucky to travel to California, Colorado, and Florida to explore their unique bodies of water. In her home state of Kentucky, she loves to explore creeks and look for crayfish, turtles, and frogs. If given the opportunity to visit ocean tide pools, Lila will spend hours exploring the wonderment and beauty of the tiny ocean creatures, shells, and sea plants she finds.
