German invasion

It's that time of year again when we get to make some international friendships. With my sister Quinn, (who lives in Germany) we have started a summer exchange program. We coordinate kids with host families for kids wishing to visit a different country. We have 7 kids here in Utah for the summer. I am happy to report that everyone has made it safe and sound.




Christoph was the youngest and the 1st one off the plane.


Charies meeting her host family for the first time
waiting, waiting and waiting some more


here they come

Elena with the Kohler family

Anna with the McPhie family
Jeramy with the Allred family

Charies with the Love family

Christoph with the Hickenloopers

Kali,Benedikt, Nils, and Hyrum. Their flight was so late getting in that the families were not able to make it to the airport
And is any travel experience complete without lost luggage? She is explaining that his missing piece will be delivered to his house the next day.

Did he insist on the $50 they give you to buy toothbrush, toothpaste, pajamas and other "necessities"? Sometimes that little bit of cash really can make up for the major inconvenience. But hey - 1 to 14 I guess the ratio of claimed bags to lost luggage is not too bad - or is it?

I hope they all have a fantastic experience. I find myself missing Pauline.
