t from Holland with her mom, brother and sister. They came for dinner and we had a nice visit with her. We didn't tell Ian she was coming because we wanted to surprise him. He was very surprised. When he saw her, he dropped everything he had in his hands and gave her a big hug. He couldn't believe she was here. We enjoyed meeting her family too. We had a nice dinner together and everyone played some games on the Wii. Our visit was much too short, but she was going to be travelling around Texas with her family. Today, we went to the Institute of Texan Cultures where Deborah and Kenneth have been volunteering all summer. Kenneth worked in the barn and told people all about life on 
a farm back in the 1800's. He did a great job. He sometimes helped in the fort by sneaking up behind a "soldier" in the fort and trying to attack him. That surprised visitors and it added a some realism to the presentations. Today was the last day for the season and I know they have enjoyed it. Since Deborah has been volunteering for so many years there, she is a supervisor and helps to be a tour guide. She started there when she was going into 7th grade. This year she will be going into 11th grade. It has been a great experience for her and I hope that Kenneth will continue to volunteer there and that Ian will want to in the future. I love going there and seeing all the cultures represented and they add new displays every year.
