In Lucas’s own words, these moments make him feel “proud of myself”!


What is Lucas's favorite animal—and why?

Lucas adores Lions! Not only do their names start with the letter L, but both are kings of their own jungles. For Lucas, everything is about speed and he has enjoyed learning about these fast mammals. Of the big cats, he's been especially fascinated with the majestic manes seen on male lions. According to Lucas, he wold love to grow a mane one day.


What is Lucas's favorite outdoor activity?

Bike riding has become his favorite thing to do outdoors. He recently graduated from his balance bike and loves zipping around on his "fast red bike". It not only helps him move faster, but allows him to explore nature through a new lens while on biking trails with his family.
