I can't believe it!!!

Wow Erica! You'll never guess what I got to do yesterday! I was playing outside in the Ginter's front yard yesterday while Uncle Leroy was making some really loud noise with this machine that cuts wood (I didn't mind it though, cuz I'm used to loud partying noises and fireworks in Bolivia). Anyway, I couldn't believe my eyes when this big white truck thingy with orange and blue stripes drives right into the driveway. It was HUGE, Erica! And it had lights all over it, but they weren't switched on. It had orange lights and white lights and red lights.

And guess what happened next, Erica... a BIG man got out of that truck thingy and he was wearing a very nice uniform. He looked kinda like a policeman, so I stood very straight and tall. He seemed very kind so I didn't even bark at him, cuz I could tell right away that he was a good man. He told me that his name was Uncle Abe, and that you know him. Cool! I'm getting to meet all our relatives that I've never met before, and they are all GREAT!

Now if you think all THAT'S exciting, Erica, wait till I tell you what happened next! If ever there were a time where I coulda chased my tail in delight, it was then. Uncle Abe let me drive the big white truck thingy! Can you believe it? I still can hardly believe it! He put me on the seat and let me hold the steering wheel. Okay, so I didn't actually drive it, but it sure felt like it! I pretended I was speeding through traffic in Santa Cruz to pick you up and take you to Altona with me! Boy can that truck thingy drive fast! Woo Hoo! I was screeching around corners and turning on all the lights, and ... did you know that truck thingy has a button for turning on loud sounds? I didn't actually press it, but I think I got a glimpse of it -- I'm not very good at reading, so I couldn't tell for sure.

Wow, Erica! That TOTALLY made my day!!! I dreamed about it all night long! I still shake my head and wonder if it actually happend! But the pictures I'm posting prove that it's true. I can't wait for you to come to Canada so we can see all kinds of cool things TOGETHER! In the meantime, I'll just keep posting stuff on my blog for you to see. I love you Erica!
