Is your trailblazer the next Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreProtecting & learning about animals, followed by interacting with animals. We love to outdoor adventure as a family here in Alaska, and Ethan is always looking out for animals.
He has loved the red fox since he was maybe 3 years old. He loves their cleverness, beauty, and pretty much everything. He has red fox stuffies and studied the red fox for his (optional) school science fair project. He also loves all reptiles, and has a leopard gecko pet.
Biking, hiking, and downhill skiing are some favorites. He is dying to learn more outdoor survival skills, but I’d have to learn them in order to teach him. There isn’t much for young kids in that way. He also enjoys building forts and just digging & exploring. He is a ravenous learner and would gobble up any content you gave him. He even reads/listens to adult non-fiction about animals & outdoor adventures because he wants to learn more than kids books have to offer.
