Yesterday the weather was so beautiful, and a friend texted to see if Finn wanted to go for a hike early in the morning. Yes! Sure! So he met up with a crew of parents and kids, and hiked to the top of the mountain that crowns our county, and then looked out over this.....
And the hiking was nice and all, but he said the highlight of the morning was walking back down the mountain and having a conversation with a friend of ours, who spent part of her growing up years in Mexico, and who is one of Finn's Spanish teachers. Of course, they had the conversation in Spanish! And of course, Finn loved this!
He just finished Honors French 2, on the heels of Spanish 2, and had a perfect and near-perfect score in each class.
It's a big and beautiful world for our globally-minded boy. I hope he gets to see every bit of it that he wants to see, and I hope he always finds his way back to the little house on the edge of the little farm--even if it's just for a quick slice of gingerbread and a cup of tea, and sitting on the porch enjoying the roses.
Keep on climbing, Finn!
