Being outside is like a scavenger hunt that never ends. There is always something new to find, something cool to look at, something I have never seen before. Nature is really interesting. And it takes care of us"
Hurley says "My favorite animal is a fox because they are red and that is my favorite color, and our hair matches too because my hair is also red. There are lots of foxes around where I live in New Jersey, really big ones and small ones too, and I love when I see them running outside my house."
Hurley says "My favorite thing to do outside is to go hiking. I love being in the woods. I also love to do trail maintenance helping in the woods to clear the path of big sticks for other people and to make a safe trail. I love finding new things in the woods like soft moss and tiny mushrooms. I love jumping off of stumps. The outside air is fresh and makes me feel good"
