Auden loves exploring and always being able to discover something new every time he goes outside. He says it’s a beautiful planet and we’re so lucky to get out into the wilderness and explore all the good things God’s created.
This is a hard one for Auden because it changes daily. Currently Auden is very into reptiles, specifically snakes. Most people think they’re scary, but they’re not - they’re very intelligent and they live all over except for very cold places. He loves the variety of snakes - the patterns, colors, the sizes, some are constrictors and others aren’t. They also help with help with the rodent population. Out of all the snakes, his favorite has to be a python because they can live in Africa.
His favorite activity is to discover things like new insects, birds, reptiles, rocks and plants. He also loves to use his imagination to pretend he is in different lands discovering new artifacts or species of animals.
