Dear Grandpa Spencer,
Daddy took me squirrel hunting today. I told him I wanted to make sure you knew that I had learned the right thing about how we treat squirrels, so he took these pictures for you to see. As you can see, pink is the color of choice for squirrel hunting apparel. I wore my pink polka-dotted galoshes in case any of the rascals got squirrely around my ankles.
It sure is hard to catch squirrels. My technique got a bit 
better as the evening wore on. I found it best to ask Daddy to carry me within 15 feet of the quarry, then I'd lunge forward to run after them on my own. If I'd forgotten, Daddy would remind me to get my ammunition. . .acorns! Then I'd stare up at the tree, like this....and throw my acorns to try to knock the squirrels out of the tree. (One acorn came down and bonked me on the head, but it didn't hurt.) 
I want you to know, Grandpa, that I tried for 2 hours to catch a squirrel for you. I marched Daddy around the yard, and we tried all kinds of tactics (like the one you see on the right). But after so long, I got hungry and Mommy called
me into dinner. Anyway, next time I visit I'll bring my pink galoshes and my hat so we can rid your garden of the nasty vermin.Love,
Sophie Mae

Dear Sophie,
God made lots of different animals, some I like better than others. Wasn't God wise to make tall trees with acorns for the squirrels?
I'm glad that you had fun chasing squirrels with your daddy. I really like your squirrel hunting outfit, pink is just the best color!
Love,
Grandpa
Sophie Mae,
I can't wait to show Uncle Jackson and Uncle Justin your squirrel hunting expedition! What a wonderful squirrel hunting outfit, where did you get those pink boots.
I love you, Grandma
Daddy bought my pink boots for me when I was just a little 7 month-old squirrel hunter. He picked them out at Old Navy.
