Quinta da Mata is the name of my grandparents’ farm. My favorite animals at Quinta da Mata are the baby chickies. They are called “pintainhos” in Portuguese. There are 10 baby chicks. I held a baby chick. It was so soft. The mama chicken was mad and she pecked me. It really hurt. Everyday I get to feed the chickens – “chickie food.” I also get to let them out of the chicken house. Once my “Vovo” grandfather put some water in the house for the chickens to drink but he put too much. Two of the little chicks fell in and drowned. We felt sad about that.
Yesterday a baby sheep was born. It could walk right away! It was pretty big and it had a long tail. Portuguese sheep have long tails.
I rode Quinta da Mata’s donkey named Flash!! It was really bumpy but really slow. We have a cart that we are going to hook up to Flash and we are going to ride behind it….maybe today.
There are three horses at Quinta da Mata. One of them is a baby and it is a boy.
There are many dogs at Quinta da Mata. One of the dogs is named Chili just like our dog in America. The Chili here is black. Bella is a puppy and I like to pet her and have fun with her. She always licks my hand.
Every day is so fun at Quinta da Mata.
