More from Flat Matthew...






Dear Matthew,

I am having such a good time at Miss Terri’s! On Saturday, we did this great hike! We saw the ruins of an old castle. This guy, Mr. Walker, built a castle on these grounds back in the early 1900s. He also intended to build a summer White House for the US Presidents, which he started in 1911. Unfortunately for Mr. Walker, his castle was struck by lightening and burned down. All that was left were these ruins. He also lost his fortune, and so the Summer White House has only the foundation, but it was cool. We also had this spectacular view of the mountains and of Red Rocks amphitheater, which is this natural outdoor place for having summer concerts. We went to Red Rocks with Ben and Brooke and Eli, but now I got to see it from up above! It was cool! We also saw this ridge that is called Dinosaur Ridge—I could see why from up above it!

Anyway, Miss Terri also had me take a picture of her, usually she takes pictures of me! Having a great time, you should come here! On Friday, we are going to see the Rockies play!

Missing you but having fun,

Flat Matthew
