School is almost over

The kids will be home for the summer. We are trying to find a lot of things to do and keep busy. Kenneth and Deborah will be volunteering at the Institute of Texan Cultures in their youth program. This is Deborah's 5th year and Kenneth's 1st year. They work in an area of the museum that has a mini pioneer village and Kenneth will dress in costume of the period. They act as tour guides and explain things to the visitors. Deborah will be a supervisor and be in charge of all the tour guides.

All of the kids have different camps too this year. Deborah goes to Young Women's Camp next week, Kenneth goes to Boy Scout Camp the end of June and Ian goes to Cub Scout day camp in July. They like these activities and it should be a lot of fun for them. It will keep them from being bored and picking on each other.

I plan on trying to take it easy a little bit and enjoy this summer. It may be my last summer off since I will be graduating in May of next year from College. That is something I still can't believe. I have to work hard the last two semesters, but I am looking forward to it. The exchange students are all going home and I will be done with AYUSA at the end of June. It will be hard to not have the exchange students around anymore, but I know it's the right thing to do. This student in the picture with Ian is Kanar. She is from Iraq and has really been great to Ian. He has learned a lot from her and loves to spend time with her. She will be missed and we will always worry about her.

Ken will be busy with work and he may take a few business trips too. Other than that, there is nothing going on here. Will post more interesting things next time.
