Eliana Bray

When Eliana Selene Bray was born, her parents knew her name had to be special. So they named her Eliana, translated from Hebrew to mean "God has answered me" and from Greek to mean "daughter of the sun." Her middle name, Selene, is Greek for "moon goddess". Her name sums up how special she is to her family: she is an answer to prayers and is loved to the sun and moon and back! She is fearless and loves adventure! When she was only 1, she took her first plane trip to Florida and loved it. She has flown many times to Florida, New Hampshire, and Kentucky, and has explored the Atlantic ocean in Maine, the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, underground rivers in caves, dinosaur parks, most of the parks nearby, and hiked to the top of her first mountain in New Hampshire when she was only 4 years old. She hiked up the second, much taller and steeper mountain, when she was 5 years old! When she was only 5, she began driving a little monster truck, initially straight up a tree! She graduated to a go-kart when she was barely 6 years old and practiced, screaming gleefully, on a track mowed throughout her yard. When she was just still 6 years old, her dad filmed her racing and drifting around an obstacle course in her fast go-kart to show the grown-ups in the movie that she can do it too. Once the application process is done, she will hold the world record for youngest stunt driver in the world for The Guinness Book of World Records! Eliana loves animals and her favorites have always been cats, especially kittens. When some neighbors nearby left their cats outside to die without food or shelter, she adopted them and helps care for them. She makes sure that they don't bully her tiny Miniature Pinscher dog, Sammy, because he is actually smaller than the cats! He plays "Oxide" in her dads movie, "MIDWEST HU$TLER." The most special part about Eliana is her heart. She is kind and loving and helpful. She loves to learn and share her knowledge. She makes friends wherever she goes and is the most fun to play with! She loves swinging, flipping on the trampoline, rowing her boat, swimming, Legos, practicing as the only girl wrestler on a team with her dad assistant coaching, playing dress up and anything outside. She helps her dad work on his race car Mustang and his mini monster truck in the garage and is learning all about the tools and parts. She loves to help her mom shop for everything and is learning to cook. Eliana loves to make art, jewelry, drawings and paintings and to create new inventions. But the best part about Eliana is that she gives the best hugs and loves. She really is her families' sun and moon and answer to prayer!
