What does Raelynn love most about nature?

I love that nature is so peaceful and quiet. It feels like a giant, outdoor classroom where I get to be an explorer! Every time I go outside, I see new thing I’ve never noticed before, like cool bugs or pretty plants. I love learning how everything works and finding tiny surprises hidden in the trees. It’s my favorite way to discover stuff!


What is Raelynn's favorite animal—and why?

My favorite animal is the bearded dragon! I love them because they’re super curious just like me. It’s so cool how they can puff out their beards to look big! Even though they’re reptiles, they’re actually really social, and I have so much fun playing with my pet dragon, Batman. He’s like my little scaly best friend.


What is Raelynn's favorite outdoor activity?

I love hiking on trails! My favorite part is passing by rivers and trying to identify all the animals I see along the way. I also feel like a real detective when I find animal tracks in the dirt. I love to research them later on to solve the mystery of which animal made them. It’s like a giant scavenger hunt in the woods!
