Now we have two new journal entries, first an ad to sell a dog house, and then a description of an animal of their choice (after going to the Chiang Mai Zoo and being kissed by a seal, among other adventures, Nate chose an animal important in our history studies and Pete chose our family pet!).

First about selling a dog house, from Nate:
For Sale: Dog House!
Meg was selling her dog house on Saturday. She sold her doghouse to a family who had two big Golden Labs. They were as big as a computer desk. They were so gentle and shiny. The family said the dogs were twins. They looked exactly the same. The family was as gentle as a very gentle dog that the family trained the dog so well.

from Pete:
For Sale: Dog House!
Red, can see it easily. Golden Lab. Phone 036-212-457

Then, about animals, from Nate:
About Horses
The horse can be very gentle. And they can communicate with their owner, and understand his owner and obey. The horses are very big but they are very gentle, and they can run very fast. And that is why people are riding horses and they are very strong and used to of working in big farms way out in the country side. And horses can pull big loads in big wagons.

from Pete:
About Rabbits
Rabbits are very playful and that is very cute, by Pete.

Wish I could scan you the pictures they draw, but as they're in pencil on their notebook pages, it's not so easy. Nate's finding horses challenging but he's working on them (when he's not perfecting his beautiful ships) and Pete's rabbit has huge ears just like our Rainbow and is as cute as he says in his journal entry.

Family news: we've just been away for 2 weeks of conferences, and now we're gearing up for a big soccer tournament in Lopburi on July 17. We're still short players but hope to pull in enough to field a team for our first time ever! Also into planning a birthday party for Pete, who turns 6 on July 18.
