Dear Rainbow Dash, Shutterfly and The Big Girl,

Today was my first day with Auntie Mary and Cousin Jessi, and ALREADY it's been exciting! Auntie Mary drove us across the Salt Flats of Utah. We stopped to take a picture with Cousin Jessie. When she walked out onto the Salt Flats, she almost sunk into the ground! We thought they would be dry and very hard to walk on, just like the trails The Big Girl walks with her Mommy. But the Salt Flats have clay underneath, it feels almost like Playdough.

The salt we eat sits on top, like icing on a cake. Cousin Jessi and I tried some! It tastes just like the salt you eat at home and on french fries.

These are pictures of me in the footprint that Cousin Jessi left on the salt flats. See how deep it goes? I couldn't get out by myself, and it scared Cousin Jessi when she almost fell! It was VERY exciting! I think I'm going to have a lot of fun adventuring. ;)

I love you all very much. Give The Big Girl a special nuzzle from me.

Love,
The Pet Squirrel

Dear Rainbow Dash, Shutterfly, and The Big Girl,
I had a sleepover with Cousin Jessi and Auntie Mary last night and have decided to go on a wonderful adventure with them. Cousin Jessi said she would take very good care of me, and that I would be able to see lots of fun things and meet many interesting people. I am very excited, and can't wait to send you my pictures. I will also write you stories of where I've been. Maybe, The Big Girl's Daddy can print out these pages and put them in a binder. Then we can read them with The Big Girl's Mommy when I come back! We'll have our very own storybook to read!

One last thing: Before I left, The Big Girl never gave me a name. Can you please ask her what my name is? Thank you very much.

I love you all, and be sure to give The Big Girl a special nuzzle just from me!

Love,
The Pet Squirrel
