Is your trailblazer the next Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreJonathan has a special love for collecting treasures from nature, and his room is filled with jars and boxes holding his discoveries. Rocks, seashells, leaves, flowers - if it catches his eye, he brings it home. He even gathered sticks to decorate his Valentine’s Day box for school. No matter where we go, he always seems to end up with mulch or rocks tucked into his pockets, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Jonathan loves beavers. He’s fascinated by the way they gnaw through trees and build their dams along the Virginia Capital Trail in Jamestown, one of our favorite places to explore.
Geocaching has become one of Jonathan’s favorite things to do, and he’s eager for our family outings every weekend. It leads us to new places and trails we might never have discovered on our own. He’s been coming along since he was a baby strapped into the carrier (usually fast asleep), and now he’s the one spotting the caches first most of the time.
