A Few Of My Favorite Things

I love to read and learn about new things. In the summer,I’m either on the lake in our boat, paddle boarding with friends, or gardening. But my favorite thing to do is play with my puppy Hudson! My favorite children’s book is Eric Carle’s “Mr. Seahorse” because I used to read it to my own children when they were little.
