Receive Text UpdatesNature really sparks my daughter’s curiosity and love for exploring. She’s always eager to share what she finds and encourages others to learn along the way. One day, she discovered that soil is alive, which opened her eyes and sparked a deep passion for the world. She loves nature because it makes her feel alive and free. When she was three, her eyes lit up on a rainy day at daycare, and she wouldn’t leave recess to go to her classroom instead she cried to stay and play with a worm outside.
Our daughter loves horses, wild horses, burros, donkeys, and zebras. She is so fascinated with a horse’s personality and their bonding between a horse and a person. She also loves sea animals and hopes to explore the ocean one day. In her eyes all animals are her favorite not just one. In fact she has a love and passion for ducks. She owns and cares for several waterfowl breeds.
Our daughter absolutely loves camping! To her, it’s all about sleeping in a tent and soaking up the great outdoors. Camping is a blast for her, with tons of fun stuff to do like hiking, swimming, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, hanging out with other campers, and discovering new animals and places.
