Brownies and Silly Games

A couple of nights before our students from Venezuela were scheduled to arrive, I got a call from an EF (That's the organization that does these Homestay visits) coordinator.  She had a Chinese student who was not happy where she was, it wasn't clear why, and would we take her.  As we were only expecting two Venezuelan students, we agreed and just before I picked up those girls, a leader brought Cherry over to our house.  Cherry is from Gwangzhou, China (near Hong Kong, sort of).  As she was on a different track than our other students, she was gone last weekend to Disneyland and missed out on the archery stuff.  So these are the first pics we have of her.  She has already gone home and we miss her.  She was very sweet, helpful and fun to have around.

Due to Sam's employment situation at this time, we don't have a lot of extra money to go out to do things that cost money.  The girls have been shopping at the mall a few times, and we took them to the movies once.  But, most of the time, we play games here at home.  Last week, we taught them to play a silly game called "spoons", made brownies and then Meghan taught them the "cup song" from the movie "Pitch Perfect".  (You can see a video of people who are good at this here)  If Sam can convert his video to a format I can post, I will post video later.  They also spend a lot of time dancing to the Wii's Just Dance game, which they love.  I don't have many photos of that, because they would just be back shots of them dancing....

But here are some photos that Sam took of brownies, spoons and cup games.
