Don and I are in Marco Island, Florida, for Don's business conference. We left Wednesday morning on the 14th. Jevin and Danica recorded events, and Elizabeth took some pictures. :-) I still have not seen Elizabeth's pictures..., but here is what happened:
Wednesday
Javier helped William and Hannah pull--and scrape!--some weeds out of our driveway's cracks. (Fun! --Not!!!) :-}
The girls made gluten free cookies later in the afternoon. They made up new versions of a recipe without using wheat flour. The boys got to taste the cookies and vote on which ones they liked best! :-) That night, they played Clue for "game night".
Thursday
They all went to Meadowview School in town to play on the playground equipment. Meadowview is the elementary school Elizabeth, William, and Hannah attended.
Friday
In the morning, they went on a tour at Cody Cheese Factory. They got to taste samples of cheese. Wisconsin is well known for its cheese! :-)
For dinner, they went to Danica's Grandma Betty's house. They had a barbecue and then played Marco Polo in the corn fields! :-)
It was "movie night". They watched "Faith Like Potatoes".
Saturday
The host families went to a dairy farm in Chippewa Falls. Jaime may have done this (I'm not sure if he did), but Javier did not. Instead, they went to....
Big Falls... .
At first, no one saw the signs posted on the trees that said the park was closed because there was too much bacteria in the water. They were also surprised when they walked down to the river and saw that the sandy beach was not there! The river was swollen from a recent rain and the river was high!
And then...,
they drove over to Lake Altoona to go swimming. Javier has been here, before. :-)
I'm sure Javier will tell you about this with much more detail! :-)
