Actually they arrived on July 1st. We only have Jordan with us this year. Things are going great, he jumped right back in where he left off. A very sad event (a death in the family of a host mom) brought more teens to my house for a week. Two girls, Adeva and Blaithin, camped in the camper with Marissa. The names are pronounced (Adeeva and Blaheen). In that week Marissa had a friend spend the night and the host sister of the girls came to visit on another other night. They all went back to their host family yesterday. Lots of comings and goings, showers, meals, and fun here. It has gone very well with only 1 shower in my house! At one meal I looked around and it brought me back to my daycare days, 7 kids eating lunch, only they were all grown up.
I have enjoyed this program. I don't have a lot of time to volunteer during the year to any cause and this makes me feel like I am giving back. Horse time gets put on the back burner for a month but I am really okay with that. For me it's generally too hot in July to ride anyway. And I'm sure Chance would agree to that.
Tonight we are having the N.Irish chaperones over for dinner. Tomorrow we volunteer at a soup kitchen. I think the rest of the week is free for us to do as we please and then the kids go camping Friday-Sunday. The rest of the month will be busy and then everyone goes home on Aug 4th.
