Fuzuki's American Experience: Mid-Term Retreat Dinner

Fuzuki, Ohne,

All the Exchange students and their families had dinner together last Friday evening in Fruit Heights at the LDS chapel. What a great dinner was provided by everyone. We had a pot luck dinner. I think that everyone had a wonderful time. We had the opportunity to meet other students and hear of their experiences and their feelings about their school experiences and home experiences. Most of the students were having a great time. Some told us that they felt that School truly was a HOLIDAY in comparison to school in Japan. They felt that the tests were smaller, and much easier. I am so glad that they are having such a great time. Far better they are having a holiday than being swamped and not being able to keep up in their studies. All the students were so happy to see their friends. There were many HUGS and Squeels of excitement when they saw their friends.

The Students went to Moose Hollow, where they went snowboarding and snow sking all day on Saturday. The families were to pick up their students on Sunday at Moose Hollow by 11am. We made arrangements with two other parents here in Brigham city, to carpool the students back. So, Stacey, Uskee's Mom went for the students at Moose hollow and returned to Brigham City around 1pm Sunday. Roger was a great Dad and went to pick up Fuzuki at Stacey's home.

Fuzuki said that she had a wonderful time. She went down the small slope several times and the medium slope once or twice and several times down the very long and difficult slope. We are so proud of Fuzuki!!
She is a bit sore in her legs and arms due to the extra exercise and the different muscles used in sking vs. swimming. She had a great time!!
