Today was a wonderful day! I told Elena last night to sleep in not to worry about getting up early. Elena slept till a little after 10am. Elena ate breakfast with us. She seemed to enjoy her banana and "white" milk.
We decided to go see a movie since the weather was rainy. Elena,myself and Olivia went to see Monsters University and the boys went to see World War Z.
As many of u know I'm camera happy. I love having alot of pictures to look back at. Without missing a beat she was excited to take pictures with Olivia.
Elena got to meet one of our neighbors today. Dana came and took pictures for us. The kids all played basketball and monkey in the middle.
Tonight the while group of exchange students had a potluck. It was great watching Elena talk to her peers. We all ate together. She got to eat many new foods. Elena tried fried chicken, macaroni salad, mac and cheese, BBQ chips and salad. Elena's favorite thing she ate was the macaroni salad. She also had lots of different desserts and loved them all.
All the students had to give a short speech about where they are from,what they like to do, and introduce their host families. Elena did an amazing job.
What Elena liked best about her day: The best part was the movie today, it was very funny.
What Elena didn't like about today: She did not like speaking in front of all the host families.
Elena says that America is famous for there BBQ. She is looking forward to trying some.
