You can often find her with a net of some sort in her hands. She loves to search for bugs, identify birds and their nests, and loves to try to find new animals in our ecosystem. Penelope can also often times be found in the hammock swing at grandmas house, snuggled up with one of grandmas chickens from her chicken coop!
