What an exciting summer it's been! I had to take a break from singing and dancing all over the house to let you know about all the stuff that's been happening!

The picture up top is from our first real family vacation! We drove all over the Pacific Northwest! We saw the ocean, waterfalls, rivers, and all kinds of mountains! It was so cool.

We also saw all kinds of animals, like deer, butterflies, snakes, an eagle and even a huge elk! We were walking through a big forest and this huuuge thing that looked like a reindeer stepped out in front of us! It was taller than my dad.

We went on a ferry, too. It was my first time on a boat, and it sure was windy!

Anyway, we also stopped by to see my Aunt Alicia and Uncle Rick (I call him Trick though), and I had sooo much fun playing with their cats! We played old blues records and ate a really good dinner with shrimp (I looove shrimp!) and a salad with nuts and strawberries (I love strawberries even more!). I can't wait to see them again!

I made my mom and dad laugh last night when I pointed at the stars on the ceiling and said "Look! Estrellas!" They didn't know I could speak so much Spanish! At this pace, I'll definitely be ready for our trip to Chile in December.

Okay it's lunch time! I have to go! Bye!
