Receive Text UpdatesJJ loves that nature is all around us, no matter where we go. He watches for deer, fox, rabbits, and raccoons to cross through his back yard. He likes trying to catch lizards when he visits family in Florida. He loves when his grandma gives him coins for each bunch of weeds he picks out of her garden!
JJ can’t get enough time on the water. As soon as he gets up north every summer, his first question is, ‘can we go fishing?’ His second question is, ‘can we go swimming?’ The family calls him a fish since he took to water just like a guppy.
