Well, the Hughes family is almost done with us. Tomorrow afternoon, I take the lot of them back to O'Hare and they fly back to England, probably never to darken our door again. Actually, that part is true; when next we meet their family, I'm thinking it'll be at a vacation destination (like Orlando) or we'll be headed to their part of the world again.
On Friday, our families did a nature walk and the kids got in some additional playground time. There was also a lake, into which both Hughes children managed to dip their shoes. Actually, Amy fell in when she lost her balance on the rock she was standing on. She wasn't hurt and she only got wet up to just above her ankles, but I figure the water temperature of Lake Kegonsa at this time of year is probably about 45 degrees. She didn't even complain--tough kid.
Yesterday, we went shopping again and had lunch at what we thought was a curiously empty Applebees, until we got our food and experienced lackadasial service, which made us understand why it was curiously empty. Then we checked out the zoo and straggled home, tired after another busy afternoon.
This afternoon, the Hughes are off having Easter dinner with some other web friends, so our house is strangely quiet. The Easter Bunny visited this morning and brought new toys and only a little chocolate (compliments of Dan and Kerry), so our kids aren't too hopped up on sugar.
Yet to come is a visit by the Hughes to Allie's classroom. I hope they don't feel too much on display as they answer goodness-only-knows what questions from a group of 9-year-olds. I wish them luck!

That puts a whole new slant on show and tell. I only hope the children can understand the Yorkshire accents, tho I doubt Amy will say much. Thank you for your hospitality and looking forward to returning the compliment sometime.
