I love the scenery and the chance to explore and experience new things in nature. Since we’ve moved, I’ve especially enjoyed the wildlife around our home. We’ve seen California snakes, frogs, and even catch and release the geckos that live here. There are also larger animals in the area, like bears, mountain lions, and bobcats, although we haven’t seen any of them yet. Even so, being surrounded by all of this wildlife has been really fun and has made me appreciate nature more.
My favorite animals are dogs because I’ve always wanted one. I’m currently trying to convince my dad to let me get one. I love how playful and loving they are, and I like the idea of having a companion who is always there to play with and keep you company. Although, we just got 17 baby chicks and 2 turkeys, so they may be my new favorite animals.
My favorite outdoor activity right now is hiking. I love traveling, discovering new places, and exploring both my hometown and beyond. We especially enjoy hiking in the mountains and along the coast, where we can explore tide pools and see different kinds of sea life. It is such a peaceful and beautiful experience.
