Friends

Sept. 30th We had some friends Marcel and Danny and their two kids Julia and Gerome from Switzerland come visit for a few days. We took them up the canyon to Mueller park and then went to my brother Aaron and his wife Fiauna's house for some American football and a BBQ. We all had a great time and enjoyed watching the kids communicate and play together while not speaking the same language. Marcel and Danny speak English but Julia and Gerome could not.
This is a picture of Fiauna that Kynlee helped me take!
Kynlee playing with a baby float even though we were not playing in any water!

We packed a picnic and enjoyed lunch up the canyon with all of the beautiful leaves changing colors. Gerome tried peanut butter for the first time!! Julia did not want to try it! It is so fun to be around people with different cultures, even a simple picnic is so different with strange foods for them. Julia, Kynlee, Jessa, Gerome and Kayci

Jessa and Kayci were teaching them some American hand games and sayings, then they tried to teach Jessa and Kayci some of theirs!

That's so cute, kids can still have fun with other kids even with a language barrier.

Cute pictures. Peanut butter? Who would have thought that they don't have this great stuff everywhere?
