Willow loves orcas because they live in big families called pods. She used to be scared of orcas but then she saw a video of trainers working with them and thinks it would be cool to ride one!
Willow loves to ride her bicycle and watch the birds all around the path she rides. We can watch many quail, warblers, and magpies from the sidewalk in our own neighborhood! She also likes to stop and watch the horses in a nearby pasture.
