Hi Kieran,
How are you doing today? I’m doing fine, though I miss you
more than anything! I am looking forward to seeing you in just two weeks, on
June 21. We also should be able to start seeing each other every other week
after that.
How has your first two weeks of summer school gone? What
stuff is the teacher covering in our classes? Have you read any interesting
books in class? Are many of your friends back in summer school, too? Do you
have new classmates for summer school? So many questions, I know! But you are
the most important person in the world to me, so I want to know everything
about you!
I purchased some new fun “Star Trek” stuff for us to play
with when we get together. Some of them are the Lego characters. Another is a
set of models of the spaceships from the show. The models snap together, and we
should have a lot of fun building and playing with them. Have you seen the new “Star
Trek” movie yet?
There are a whole bunch of great movies coming out this
summer that I’d bet you love to see. “Monsters University” (the follow-up to “Monsters
Inc.” – remember when we used to go on that ride at California Adventure?)
comes out on June 21. “The Lone Ranger” (Remember when we used to play Sheriff
Jack and the Deputy?) comes out on July 3. Finally, “Disney’s Planes” (It’s
like “Cars” except the main characters are airplanes!) comes out on August 9.
Hopefully, you will get to go to each of these movies, as they all sound like
lots of fun.
Now that’s summer here, I bet you’re enjoying spending time
outdoors! I didn’t receive a response to the email I sent to you last week, so
I will have to ask again how the bicycle riding is coming along? I bet you’ve
got it down already! If not, don’t worry – you’ll get better with practice. Be
sure to wear a helmet when you go bicycle riding, though; if the bike crashes,
and you don’t have a helmet on, you could get hurt!
I will be outdoors a lot as well this summer, hiking trails in
the Northwoods. My latest hiking book is doing well, so I’ve decided to write a
follow-up to it. There are some neat trails that go over ancient volcanic rock,
to waterfalls, and past beautiful lakes and rivers in the Northwoods. I always
liked going hiking with you in the Angeles National Forest when we were
together and sure wish we were allowed to be together this summer to explore
all the neat places Minnesota and Wisconsin have to offer.
I found a new book you might like to get from the library!
It’s called “Interrupting Chicken” by David Ezra Stein. It’s all about this young
chicken who keeps interrupting everybody! Do you know of anyone who interrupts
someone? It’s not very nice of them, is it?
Well, that is all for now. I miss and love you very much and
can’t wait to see you on June 21!
Love,
Dad
