What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreGeorge loves to go on adventures outside and admire nature by finding worms in the garden, while gazing at the birds, squirrels, and rabbits in our backyard. He spots wild turkeys and geese on our drives, and his favorite place in Omaha is the Henry Doorly Zoo! On vacation to the Atlantic Ocean, he wanted to constantly be at the beach and admired all of the jellyfish, crabs, & sea creatures that had been washed to shore. He loves gazing at the clouds & also notices when the Moon changes shapes.
A flying squirrel is his favorite animal (he was a flying squirrel for Halloween) because "they are so cool!"
Gardening with Dad, hiking through the forest, running through the grass, playing in the snow, and swimming at the beach are all his favorite outdoor activities!
