Receive Text UpdatesAxton enjoys being in nature because it usually means time with his family exploring. He can see new plants, trees, waterfalls, lakes, ponds, animals, and rocks. Axton is always bringing home new sticks and rocks to collect. Visiting new parks, going on hikes, and fishing in new places is always an adventure he is down for.
Axton loves all animals, especially all fish. However, a long time favorite is a barred owl. He enjoys looking for the few that live around his house and try to call for them off of our back porch with his brothers. A few years ago while visiting a state park Axton was able to see several barred owls up close and his passion for the animal has continued ever since.
Axton loves all things fishing. Most days you can find him in the creek behind the house trying to catch minnows. Mainly he uses a fishing pole and other times he is checking the minnow traps that he has made. Axton’s dad will help him make a livewell that he will utilize to hold his minnows that he tends to daily in the summer. Axton’s tackle backpack is bigger than him and full of different lures and hooks. If it’s a creek, pond, lake, or ocean Axton is ready to try to fish it.
