Receive Text UpdatesShe loves nature with her whole heart. At five years old, she is happiest outside watching birds, looking for bugs, and learning about animals. She asks questions about everything and wants to protect every creature she finds. Nature fills her with wonder, and she reminds us every day how important it is to care for the earth and the animals that share it with us.
Her favorite animals are bunnies, owls, and roly-polies. She loves bunnies because they are soft and gentle. Owls fascinate her because they fly quietly at night and watch the forest. Roly-polies make her laugh every time they roll into tiny balls.
Her favorite outdoor activity is playing on the play structure and going on walks with friends to explore bugs. She loves climbing, sliding, and running around, but she is just as excited when she finds a tiny bug to watch and learn about.
