What does McKenzie love most about nature?

She loves the water, she loves exploring new nature areas and pathways. One of her favorite things is discovering new things whether it be plants, flowers, and trees or new animals. Discovering new rocks, stones, shells, arrow heads, and just anything thats treasure to her. She's such a positive soul; when we had a house fire over a year ago, she spoke of how magically beautiful the colors of the fire were. She was able to make us all see the good of a horrendous situation. Nature is her element


What is McKenzie's favorite animal—and why?

Thats hard to say because she can't just pick one, she loves them all. We have a wildlife reserve less than 10 miles away with birds, underwater animals, her fav hippo Lou, she enjoys the reptiles including snakes and alligators as well as all the larger wildlife including bears, wolves, a panther, coyotes, and much more. One neighbor has goats, a pony, pigs, and chicks. She's an animal lover and said she wants to be a vetenarian when she grows up or a teacher of animals and the outdoors.


What is McKenzie's favorite outdoor activity?

McKenzie loves going on walks discovering new trails. She loves going to the water to swim, fish, observe, and find treasures. She loves the Homosassa Wildlife Reserve. She enjoys Mertailors where she gets to touch stingrays and watch a underwater mermaid show where they swim with fish and sharks. She loves finding rocks. The next activity she plans is going inside the local caves. This girl lives for and loves all outdoor activities. She would live outside if I let her. Discovering and learning
