Receive Text UpdatesWally loves nothing more than getting dirty and discovering the amazing world of creatures around him. Whether it’s snow, rain, or sunshine, he’s happiest outside, exploring and learning. His natural curiosity drives him to ask endless questions about animals, bugs, fish, and the ever-changing weather. With a library full of books and magazines about nature and weather, Wally’s passion for the outdoors is as big as the world he loves to explore.
Wally’s favorite animal is the white-tailed deer, especially since they often visit our yard. He loves watching them nibble on leftover Halloween pumpkins right from his bedroom window every fall. But if you ask his mom, she’d tell you that frogs hold a special place in Wally’s heart too. When asked what he wants to be when he grows up, he’s always said a “frog hunter”, and surprisingly, he’s really good at finding and catching frogs!
Wally’s favorite thing to do outside is dig in the dirt searching for bugs, worms, rocks, fossils, and all sorts of “treasures.” Fishing at the cabin and sleeping under the stars are a favorite as well. He loves exploring and having adventures outdoors with his best bud and younger brother, Frankie! Wally dreams of one day roaming the wilds of Alaska like a true outdoor boy!
