What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreMy daughter Lola’s passion for nature shines bright. She loves catching bugs, lizards, fish, and snakes, each a tiny teacher in her eyes. Climbing trees, she feels the earth’s heartbeat. She crafts art from leaves and twigs, blending creativity with nature’s beauty. Outside, Lola connects deeply with the world, weaving its lessons into her life. Her time in the wild, chasing, creating, and feeling free is what she loves most, a spark that sets her soul ablaze.
Lola’s favorite animal is the giant squid, and it’s easy to see why! She’s fascinated by their mysterious, massive size, lurking in the ocean’s depths. The way they shoot ink to escape danger sparks her imagination, like a superhero’s trick. Lola loves that they have a parrot-like beak, making them quirky and fierce. To her, the giant squid is a magical, enigmatic creature, full of secrets waiting to be explored.
Lola’s favorite outdoor activity is building wilderness tents, where she crafts cozy shelters from branches and leaves. She dives into pretend survival adventures, imagining herself thriving in the wild. Setting traps to catch lizards, she dreams of helping injured ones with care. This hands-on play fuels her creativity and love for nature, blending imagination with a deep desire to protect and connect with the world around her.
