Summer School Update #3

I know how much everyone likes all the pictures, so I'm really sorry to say there won't be any pictures in this post. The children's teachers have been taking lots of pictures of the kids all throughout school, but I won't get them until school is all said and done. I'll post some of those pictures then. OK, now on to other things...

Well, two weeks down and only three more to go! Yeah! We've had a great two weeks so far, but we'll all be really ready to go when it's done. Here are some things the kids have done so far:

-Pottery shop. They got to pick out their own sculpture, paint it, and have it glazed.
-Aquatics center. They apparently loved this. There was a big slide and all kinds of cool things.
-Cave.
-Airplane rides. They rode in one of those prop planes. I was a little scared about that one, but they came back alive. :)
-Wildlife center.
-Eating party. OK, this was an interesting day for them. Their teachers were trying to teach them about having to eat strange foods in other countries, and that you have to eat it so you don't offend your host. There were squid, frog legs, and crawfish. I know, you're thinking "Crawfish! That's not bad." But...they had to eat the ENTIRE crawfish...head, tail, shell, eyes and all. Well, Nicole wouldn't do it (surprise! surprise!), but both big boys did!!! I was shocked. They received an "honor bead" to put on their necklace.
-Roller skating and bowling.

Here are some things Keith and I have done:

-Meetings
-More meetings
-Even more meetings!

But they've all been very good and informative. We are learning soo much and meeting some wonderful people. Overall, we're having a great time!
