Receive Text UpdatesHe is our little explorer. Every big stick isn’t just a stick to him. To him It’s a sword, it’s a fishing pole or whatever else his little brain is imagining that day. The possibilities are endless. As soon as he could crawl as a baby, he used to try to sneak out the doggy door constantly. Never happy unless we were outside.
Tigers and Lions- “Because they like to eat stuff” ~ Cole. He has been obsessed with frogs since before he even knew how to talk. We had to learn how to love gently in a hurry. He loves all animals as he’s gotten older. Always on the watch for waterfowl thanks to his dad and always hoping to see other animals especially foxes.
Coley loves the water. The lake is his happy place. The boat is where we spend a lot of our time. Between throwing rocks, finding sticks, managing the bait/fish bucket, looking for bugs and frogs he stays very busy. He loves to swim and explore the beach.
