What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreNora comes alive in nature. She loves getting her feet in the dirt, embracing the smell of pine trees, and listening to birds in the trees. In the outdoors her imagination reaches its full potential. She turns sticks into umbrellas, trees into forts, and rocks into special treasures. It’s her playground of possibilities. Our best laughs, deepest talks, and most memorable moments happen outside in nature away from screens, schedules, and material possessions. Shes loves all seasons.
Nora said her favorite animal is a flamingo because it is pink, and has big eyes. She likes that it has wings, but does not fly. She also likes that it can be both pink and white. She loves that flamingos likes to eat shrimp like her!
Nora adores whitewater rafting. It gets our entire family outside together. We pack up our boat, spend the day observing nature, play on the shoreline, and camp under the stars. She loves being in the water and swimming like a fish! They are so brave when it comes to climbing up trees. Nora was born a Micropreemie, at 26 weeks, weighing in at just over one pound. She spent the first few years of her life inside. Now she loves to explore the world around her.
