Reese's Very Slow Pets

 

One of Reese's hundred pet snails

Now you are positive I only write about bugs. But, this is actually, as said in the caption, one of Reese's millions of snails that she catches in our backyard. Quick espanol update- caracol is Spanish for snail and babas is slime. Reese is determined to name all of her newly found pets. Good luck with that Reese!

See you soon,

Ant popcorn...ewwww!!!

Me stirring the still wiggling ants!

Imagine, it's five in the morning. The sun isn't up, but you are. One decent sized ant flies into a light trap. Then another, then another. Do you see it? If your afraid of ants you probably have closed this article by now. This was my dad's experience with our new treat - ants. But, that wasn't the even the best part! If you had a smell-avision I'd show you, but you wouldn't thank me. The revolting smell drove me all the way to the classroom in the back of our house. For the few seconds I spared during my evacuation I faced the pleasant picture of squirming bugs. But, I tend to over exaggerate just a little bit. It probably didn't taste too bad. Just a normal day in the jungles of Ecuador! 

Thank you for reading,

A peek into our life..

My dad on a trip to the jungle. 

Us at Volcan Chimborazo - aka Chimborazo

me a Achuar (a tribe in the jungle) crown

An amazing new pool location for us to hang out.

we escape to the pool!

The Vacation in Otavalo

We are in Otavalo riding horses my horses name was Black. On the way my horse got hurt but it was just a rock. My horse would get angry if the other horses would get out of line. My mom's horse wanted to go back where we started but he didn't know that was the long way back.When I galloped it felt like my insides turned into my outsides. My horse would grab a snack on the way. We hiked all over the place like through a eucalyptus forest. The horses didn't like the eucalyptus no one knew why. Maybe it was the smell.

To: Friends 

Last weekend I went on a ferry.  We had these yummy chicken kabobs on the boat.  I thought they were fish and Daddy thought they were pork.  When Mommy, me and Georgie got on the boat Daddy drove the car up on the boat and we had a good seat.  After my Dad got off with the car we walked off and when we got to our beach house my hair was all knotty and I had to brush it out.  It hurt! I can't wait to see you guys again.

My Teacher and Poem

I made a poem a few days ago.  It was really fun.  It took a long time for me to make.  My poem was about three animals and me because I like animals.  My teacher put my poem up on our classroom wall.  This made me feel excited and happy.  










My teacher, Miss Hanson, is very fun.  She lets us do stuff no other teacher will do - like let us watch movies, she plays with us and shows us videos of fun exercises to help us learn.  My teacher is the best.

My poem is down below for you to see!

Love,

Three and Me

Bark, Meow, Neigh

What are those sounds?

I really couldn't say. 

I looked all around, 

and what did I see?

Three Animals waiting for me

I said, "Why don't you come home with me?"

When I got home I gave

the cat a mouse, the dog a bone,

and the horse a phone.

Then the horse said, "We really can't stay."

They all said their goodbye's 

and the three animals raced away.

The Beauty of Pets!

Dog sitting for Zorro was really fun!  He gave lots and lots of kisses and he did stuff really, really fun.  It felt good to have another dog around, sort of like our old dog Soly, because we really miss having a family dog.  

In Ecuador we know we are going to get another dog but it's just messy and hard to wait.  So, having Zorro around was reminding us about our dog. Sometimes we felt sad but sometimes we felt overwhelming joy. 

Love,

Georgia and Reese
