Dictated by Luie:
I really like to paint. When we were in Spain, we went to a watercolor painting place and that is when I really wanted to get into watercolor. It is one of my hobbies now.
This is a picture from a story that I saw on my daddy’s ipad. It is a picture of a tower surrounded by trees with a dragon on top and some clouds.
This is us in one of the cars going up the Rock of Gibraltar. There are trees and the yellow things are poles that help hold up the cables for the trams that go by.
This is a train crossing a bridge. I really like trains. This is me driving the train with the lights on. The bridge is really big. I call the big train Thomas. I really like Thomas, he is my friend. But he doesn’t talk, he is just my Thomas painting.
I really like trains, they are really fun, and I want to be on one. I was on one when I was a baby, but I don’t remember it. Trains are part of my life.
When my sister painted a dolphin, I really wanted to paint a dolphin too. This dolphin I tried making grey, but I think it is too light of grey. Dolphins now are part of my life.
This is us heading up the Rock of Gibraltar. Me and my dad and my mom and my sister are walking up the rock of Gibraltar. We saw many monkeys on the way. When we got to the top, we saw a special place for the monkeys. They had food there, and they had a tire that was a hooked onto a chain that was hooked onto the roof. I think it was a swing for the monkeys, but I don’t know. They don’t live in a house, they live outside on the Rock of Gibraltar. I think it was a tree house that people built for them. A little way off to the right, if you hike on, you will soon come to the Mediterranean Steps. You might not see monkeys on the way. We didn’t see monkeys on the Mediterranean Steps, only at the top.
This is a video of me painting a house with trees with it.
Great job Luie. Enjoyed your video a lot. I have just been learning how to water paint on greeting cards. I think all crafts are fun.
from Luie: Thank you! I think crafts are fun too! My favorite crafts are painting and making stuff out of garbage and coloring dinosaurs and doing dinosaur activity books.
Luie, your pictures are just magical! I can tell how much you love trains by how wonderfully you draw and paint them. I loved your video too. You sound like Emi and Spencer. They get into the recycling garbage all the time to make inventions!
from Luie: Thank you Susan! I really like making inventions!
Hi you guys! It’s awesome that we can see what you are up to and where you are! Luie you are a talented artist – I love your paintings, you’re a natural.
Summer – you are one brave chica…. I was hoping and praying that monkey wasn’t going to do something nasty on your head – LOL!! Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful things you are experiencing. I really look forward to you heading our way again when you get home!
Hugs! Amanda 🙂
Hi Amanda! The kids laughed when I read them your comments. We are having a great time and planning on heading to Morocco this week. Thanks for commenting on our blog. It is always fun to hear from you!
