Receive Text UpdatesI love how every forest looks different and has its own kind of beauty. When I’m walking on trails it feels peaceful and quiet. I also love seeing wildlife and spotting animals in their natural home.
My favorite animal is a turtle. They always seem calm and relaxed. I think their shells are amazing because they are so strong and protect them. Turtles also look really cool, and there are lots of different kinds.
I love hiking with my mom and dad. It’s fun exploring trails together. I also like building a fire and relaxing around it with a book or cooking food over it. I also enjoy foraging for wild onions and pineapple weed to snack on.
