Japanese Home Stay

We had a couple of girls from the BEC English school come and do a one night home stay with us. Their names are Hitomi and Yuka. They are such sweet girls. The times we have done things with the English school before they have always played with Harley and Niyah, so we were excited to have them come stay.

Their mothers came for a couple of hours to see our home and the stores on base. They were so polite and fun to watch. They were amazed with our "huge" fridge and our Big oven. "For Turkeys??" they said. They loved doing some American shopping on base, its much less expensive. Here they all are. (ignore me in this pic ugh)


We took them bowling that night. They seemed to have fun. At least once we put the bumpers up.

Despite staying up to watch a movie that I doubt they understood at all they were up early and playing with the girls. Tag seemed to be the favorite.

Then I had them make cookies. They are so timid and hesitant that it was hard to get them to really get into it and do it. But after much coaxing they seemed to enjoy it. They were unsure what they were making when I had them make Aunt Janette's Wagon Wheels. But when they tentatively tried the powder sugar they were very excited.

Then after they finally tried a baked wagon wheel they excitedly talked in Japanese and kept sneaking back for more. HAHAHA no one can resist wagon wheels.
We then took them swimming. Then out for some Hamburgers. They were surprised at the milkshakes and loved them. Then it was time to go home. We had enjoyed our Japanese guests and hope they had fun too.

How fun it must to have been! To think that Janette's wonderful cookies are in Japan now is a great thing. To think that they were "sneaking" back for more makes me smile! Happy memories :)

What an awesome thing to do. They will probably remember this for the rest of their lives. You are always doing fun things - thanks for sharing.
