What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreHe has always loved nature, adventure, and traveling. From ages 1–2, we began exploring at ZooTampa and Busch Gardens, always discovering new animals. He enjoys building with sticks and rocks and being outdoors. At three, he would stuff acorns into his socks at recess, and his teacher would send them home. He especially loves treehouses—his Papa built one in the mountains of NC, where they’ve spent nights watching for bears.
"A dog—I’ve had a few growing up. My parents had a couple when I was born. I grew to love them because they are always loyal; they pick you up when you’re sad and always by your side no matter what."
It’s hard to choose! I enjoy exploring and finding new places in our beautiful world to visit! I’ve had fun visiting the mountains, western US with my grandparents and even stayed in a covered wagon! Then mom & I visited Europe - My favorite stop was Switzerland!
