The other day we were sitting down to dinner at Grandpa's house.  You requested the curtains be closed because the sun shining in through the window was bothering you.  Papi tried to convince you otherwise and said that then you wouldn't be able to look at the birds eating the bird seed.  To which you replied, matter-of-factly, "I don't care about the birds."  It was funny.

The last several weeks we have done some longer hikes and I have been very impressed with your endurance.  You tell me that you now like hiking "a little."  I'll take it. Last week we hiked to Stack Rock and you only had to be a carried a little on the way back at the very end.  Then the other day we hiked the Station Creek trail in Garden City and it was pretty steep, especially at the end, but you walked the entire way with almost no complaining.  Papi took a very cute video of Matías helping you down a little patch of the trail that was a little too steep for you. It was adorable.

Have I mentioned Freddy here yet?  You have created quite to personality and Potato language for him.  I can't believe with all of the twisting and squishing that he endures everyday that he is still in one piece.  He came camping with us and got to scramble on rocks and hike.  He was so dirty when we got home.  After I bathed him, the water was brown.

So I signed you guys up for the Summer Reading program.  And the same thing happened that happened for the Winter Reading program.  I recorded a book or two that you had read.  Then I forgot about it and you still ended up winning one of the weekly prizes.  I can't believe how lucky you are!  You got a little kids set of gardening tools and a silly game that matches animal sounds with their movements.
