Host Family

Our family has decided to take on a new adventure. Well, actually I've taken this journey in my younger years and I thought it would be nice for my kids to experience this as well.

What is this new adventure? What is a host family? Well, we have decided to be a host family to a student from Germany. She will come to America, live in our home as one of our family members, go to the public school and basically just live the American life for one school year and then she will go back home after graduation.

We chose a young lady who seems (by her bio) to fit well with our family. She is 17 years old and will be a senior in high school. We are so excited to receive her into our home. She arrives tomorrow night. :) She actually arrived in America 3 days ago and has had the opportunity to travel through New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC. So many sights have been seen that man Americans have never seen ... myself included. The first day she went to the Empire State Building, Day 2 was Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty, then onto the 9-11 Museum, Time Square and of course Hard Rock Cafe. Day 3 ... she went to see Arlington National Cemetery, Washington Monument, White House, Lincoln Memorial. Day 4 they took a group photo ... 21 students! Then they will all pretty much just hang out tonight and fly out tomorrow.
