Week three and four

Weeks three and four have come and went! Here are a few of the fun things we/they did!

First of all Yoon Jin and Jee Hyun started actually going to the local elementary school here in Cedar and helped out in two different classes. They would talk about all their kids...the favorite question that they got was when they told them they were from Korea they were both asked (by two different kids mind you) if they could speak Korean. This just made me laugh!

I have come to conclude with them when they hear that another group did something that is when they would want to try it. For example one group went to Sizzler, so they wanted to too! So we obliged and took them. Let me back track for a moment. We had to be interviewed in order to have them come and stay with us to make sure that Kyle and I weren't crazy people...and during that interview we were told that Korean girls never eat very much. HA! At sizzler Yoon Jin ate 6 plates of her own and then finished off everyone else's. Seriously...I have no idea where that girl put all that food!

Friday night we went over to the Louthan family's home to eat homemade pizza and play games. Here is a few photos from that night. We taught them Twister, it was hilarious!

They got to visit Las Vegas for their weekend here. They had a great time! Why...because all they did was shop, eat at buffets (at which I was told Yoon Jin finished 10 plates!) and hung out with their friends! I have to admit that Kyle and I were happy to have a weekend off :)

The next week they were busy with school...they had presentations and had a great time on Valentine's day. They made valentines for all their kids. It kinda made me want to be a kid again, and make a valentines day box. Maybe next year! :)

They learned how to cook some of their favorite American meals...and I sent them home with ingredients to make them for their families!

On Friday we had a going away banquet with the whole group. It was crazy but fun! Afterwards we played ping-pong and foosball and then came back to our home for cake!

Saturday they went shooting and on the way home Kyle got stuck in the mud. Totally hilarious but Kyle was so frustrated. Rule number one. No back roads in the winter. :) Later that day we did a whole lot of shopping in St. George for gifts for their families and boyfriends. At the end I was so tired but it was fun. They had a hard time choosing sizes...I just hope that I made some good judgement calls! We then tried In-and-Out Burger for dinner...once again because one of their friends said they tried it. (I tried to pitch Olive Garden with no success!)

Here is us on Sunday morning dropping them off at the bus. Kyle wore his Honbok for the occasion. Everyone but Kyle shed a few tears.

We asked them what their favorite things were and they said their homestay (meaning us! :) But I don't know if they were just saying that...I don't think so though!), seeing the stars and Las Vegas.
