I really don't keep up with this blog like I used to. But let me summarize our summer so far...
Both boys were busy with lots of camps -- zoo, sports, Camp Invention, chess, swimming lessons, etc. They also played a lot with the neighbor kids.
In July we had a surprise as one of the two French teenagers that I had arranged to come to the States for 2+ weeks didn't work out with the family I had placed her in. Therefore within 2 days of the stay, she moved in with us instead. It created a lot of stress for the boys as they had to be quiet until she got up at 9 am (which meant 3 hours of tiptoeing around) and they couldn't play in the basement with their computer and toys since she was housed down there. I had a great time practicing my French with her (as her English was very limited and she would instantly turn to French around me).
You can see some photos above -- They are with my folks the day we went to Owatonna. Then there is our family with the iconic Minneapolis sculpture. And then there is one of the four of us playing some mini-golf (I won). The boy is the French boy, (Robin) and the taller girl hosted him. Finally, there is a photo of Justine and Connell playing Monopoly.
