Friday night party time...

Today, the kids went to "school" for most of the day.  I guess they have three hours of instruction daily, then they have an activity.  Over the course of their time here they will take them to a shopping mall, to the Monterey Aquarium, Point Lobos State Park, Great America amusement park....etc .  We drop them off at the bus very early, 7:20am and then we pick them back up at 6:40 pm.  A long day for them.

Since their bus parks near our friends' houses, we went directly afterwards for dinner and some games.  Two of our friends live next door to each other, so the adults went to one house to play our card game, and the the kids stayed at the other house.  They tried a couple of Wii games, but the girls didn't seem very interested, so Meghan taught them to play sardines.  If you don't know, it is a hide and seek game where one person hides, and then when the next person finds them, they hide with them.  Eventually, everyone is squeezing into the same hiding place, and the last person to find them hides the next time.  They had a great time playing that, and then they taught our kids some fun games.  When the adults finished our game, we found them all laughing and have a great time!  We only got photos of the last game they played, one that the students taught our children.

Other than being a little surprised that there were so many children in only two families, I think they had a lot of fun.
