This winter we looked for new patterns in the ice puddles every morning and captured snowflakes during the blizzard. Now it’s jumping in mud puddles and measuring the tulip and daffodil buds each day. Viola loves to travel, and hike in places like Alaska where she was born!
It’s a three-way tie for her favorite animal, and it’s between a worm, a dolphin, and a cheetah! She loves cheetahs because cheetahs are fast and she loves going fast, especially on her bicycle! She loves worms, because they’re jiggly and slippery, and one of her favorite activities is to gather the worms from under the garage door and save them before they dry out! Lastly, she likes dolphins because they like to do tricks in the water, and she loves to do trick tricks in the lake near our house
Viola‘s favorite outdoor activity is riding her bike. Where we live on Cape Cod there’s a long trail called the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and the Shining Sea Trail. She likes to ride her bike on these trails and make up adventures for her and her friends, playing make believe as they’re riding through the forest or along the ocean! She also really likes to ride her bike to get ice cream in the summer!
