Farewell DinneR

Cannot explain what a great experience it was to have Yuhei in our home. He was such a great kid, so curious & just plain old happy! Trent & trevor had such a great experience hanging with Yuhei - we will never forget Yuhei!
At the hotel, after farewell speeches - all of the kids just started bawling. It was adorable! They really were such a great bunch of kids & the parents were all so supportive & loved each one of their exchange students. The Japanese interpreter was so impressed with all of us. In the kids farewell speeches at the final dinner he was just going on & on about how impressive each one of the kids were. Steve & Yuhei were hilarious together - they became such great buddies. Jacy loved having Yuhei become a part of her life - a forever friend!!!
farewell hugs!
Yuhei was sobbing! So sad! The cute Japanese girls were having a hard time, just crying & crying!
2 A.m. And this was just the start of the Japanese kids 35 hour journey!

best buddies

Jordyn - smiley!! She was able to go to Japan last year & introduced Jacy to this wonderful opportunity. But, she was not able to have her Japanese student in Moses Lake because of the Swine Flu scare last year, their trip was cancelled. She came to the final dinner! Sweet Jordyn!
