Holten loves all animals and is incredibly knowledgeable about them. He also really enjoys the special times we spend together in nature exploring the beautiful state we live in.
Holten’s favorite animal has been spiders ever since he was a toddler. He has many spider toys and spider stuffed animals. Holten even has a pet tarantula! He enjoys learning about the many different species of arachnids and can identify the common names of at least a hundred. Spiders are Holten’s favorite animal because he believes they are just simply the coolest.
Holten’s favorite outdoor activity would have to be searching for spiders! We spend a lot of time outside in the summer looking for different species of spiders and all kinds of bugs. He can look up the trunk of a tree and identify which leaf that a spider might be nesting in. We also enjoy painting rocks and leaving them on our common trails for other kids to find. It’s a common trading game we like to do locally. We have found quite a few as well!
