Today is our first day to write to our new pen pal. I was all prepared to have Satori dictate and I would write it out for her, but Satori insisted on writing her own letter. She even brought me the paper and pen! So that’s how we started. Satori wrote a 3 page letter to her new friend. (Each page had a sentence.)

She knew how to write all her own letters except K, Y and L. She had a tough time writing her N, W to name a few. We haven’t really worked on writing yet, but I have a feeling the pen pal correspondence will be a big incentive.

Here’s her letter with mama’s typed translation (in case they need it) and a bit more of a letter, along with a drawing of Satori with her new pen pal.

Then we mailed out our letter at the post office! After that we went on a hike.

We got a good view of Eldora Ski resort here. I do not know how to photograph landscapes, hopefully this summer I will get better.

Here Satori is looking out her binoculars to see if she can see any skiers.

And I kinda like this photo, the white Aspen tree against the darker evergreens…
