What does Niels love most about nature?

Niels says he loves to play outside. He loves to collect rocks on our hikes and makes sticks into swords. He also loves to learn! We recently went on a hike called Fossil Canyon, here in our home town of St. George. He got to see trilobite fossils and loved learning about what they are and how they formed. Nature allows him to grow and be curious.


What is Niels's favorite animal—and why?

He loves dogs because they are nice. We recently lost our doggy, Rooster, and Niels still talks about him every day. He is looking forward to adding a new dog to our family one day.


What is Niels's favorite outdoor activity?

Niels said he LOVES to dig in the sand! He can spend hours at our local sand dunes with just a shovel. We also always have to bring a digger truck on our hikes for digging breaks!
