What does Makena love most about nature?

Makena loves the changing colors of leaves and differing flowers as the seasons change! She's fascinated by the process and its helped her learn/understand what time of year it is as she goes through Kindergarten.


What is Makena's favorite animal—and why?

Cheetah. They're super fast and thats the super power Makena hopes to have as she grows up.


What is Makena's favorite outdoor activity?

Trails walks are Makena's favorite because she loves finding flowers to give to others. She also loves finding critters along the way to guide them safely off the trail (like caterpillars & other bugs).
