We had a sweet and wonderful Thanksgiving/Kendra's birthday. Our students dressed in their nicest clothes and were so...thankful. It was fun to share the traditions and history of thanksgiving with them (though it made us a little embarrassed to realize how little we really remembered as we were looking up dates and facts on our cell phones before the meal started). Jeremy read Lincoln's proclamation about the first Thanksgiving and my goodness, have we become stupider. I am a native English speaker and I had a hard time understanding all of the vocabulary and eloquence of that speech!
The day after Thanksgiving, we took 3 of our students and a girl from Germany to Flagstaff to see the Grand Canyon. We paired up with our friends Jason and Mariah and their iHouse students. It was really special to spend time together and share the fun of showing the students a little bit of the wild west. We really need to stop showing Flagstaff off to everyone because then it'll become really crowded :) Aw, it's too good not to share!
