Activities with my kids!

Sometimes we get bored staying all day long at home...
So we try to find good places for the kids!! My host parents told me some places to go with them, and other places I found on the web.

Actually I forgot to take pictures in the swimming pool at YMCA and the Chunck 'n Cheese.

ADAMS FARM PARK

GREENSBORO SOCCER SCHOOL

Ellen plays soccer like Brazilian players... be careful Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka and Robinho!

She did 2 goals (playing against some boys - hehehe)

Mohamed was doing some goals, too. 04/19/2009

Mohamed was getting annoying with this orange thing on his arm. 04/05/2009

March, 20th 2009.

I was sad, afraid and excited... my feelings were mixed. Mark and Gabriel drop me off at the airport, fortunalety I met Marcia there, because she was returning from California (she was studying during two weeks there), and I didn't know if I'd see and say good-bye to her.

I came in Greensboro, NC around 2 pm. Elwaleed (host dad) and Mohamed (3-years-old boy) picked me up at the airport.

Hind (host mom) was picking Ellen (5-years-old girl) up from the school. We meet at home in Jamestown, and then we had a lunch in a restaurant.

The kids were lovely, but I was so tired, after lunch I slept all day long...
I like my new life here, and I miss my old life in Rochester.

Bye,bye Rochester

My host family threw a surprise farewell party! it was very nice :D
Jully, Marina and Stefany went to my party. Other girls were invited, but Noelia was in Canada, and Jenita, Martina and Robin were helping Jenita's host mom - She broke her leg in a skiing accident.

One week later, we went to Boulders cafe, Jenita was leaving to Germany, and I was leaving to North Carolina. Our friends were there, we're celebrating our farewell party together - dancing on the stage... uhuuuu!!

Gabriel the cuttest boy!

Gabriel is the cuttest boy I ever met. He is very smart and friendly. I remember when my friends came over, he took their hand and invited them to play with him.
