What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn MoreI love to explore and find things. Usually the smallest, tiniest things are my favorite. I love walking through the woods and finding things like a bird feather. Since I was little, my mom and me used to do scavenger hunts outside. We’d find mushrooms, pinecones, flowers, etc. I always loved it. I like to find other things too like animal tracks or deer antlers! It is so much fun. I always beg my parents or grandparents to do this with me.
Right now I’d pick a Tiger, but I like all kinds of different big cats too. I love that they are fluffy, big, and strong. But I definitely love lots of other animals too. I have a bunk bed and half of my bed is filled with all kinds of stuffed animals. I have lemurs, monkeys, dolphin, bunnies, etc.
I love going down to the creek that is behind our house. I beg anyone to take me down there. Our dogs love going with us. My cousins always want and ask to go when they come over too. We collect rocks, build dams, and play in the water. I love looking in the creek and finding anything different that I think is treasure.
