My son loves exploring the outdoors, hiking, birding, and learning new things. He loves adventure and is very protective of our wildlife.

He loves all of the plants and animals. He finds them beautiful, calming and peaceful. There are so many new ones to learn about and see. Every time he goes outside it is a new adventure. Nature is always interesting and something to always protect and keep safe.
Wolves are his favorite animal for many reasons. They are beautiful, furry, and he loves to see them when he can. He takes pictures of them every time we are at the zoo and he would love to one day take pictures of them in the wild as well. It is especially fun to watch them when they are howling and spending time together as a pack.
Hiking is his favorite activity. We try to take him and his brothers out hiking to new and interesting places regularly and use the opportunity to teach them new things about nature. We often go birding while hiking, which he enjoys greatly, and we try to go camping several times a year as well. Living in Minnesota allows him to see and learn in diverse areas full of life. He's always ready for his next hike and to see the many creatures he's grown to love, like foxes, birds, snakes, and more.
