Avery loves to hike, and to mess around outside and see all he can notice. He loves hiking, because something interesting always happens! When he was hiking up Guadalupe Peak, a hummingbird landed on his back when he was wearing a red backpack - he is certain that the red backpack attracted him by imitating floral colors. He also saw a huge rattlesnake that day.
