We had a very fun and successful dinner with all of the local exchange students and their host families last night. We also invited the school principal, director and guidance counselor so we had a group of more than 25. All of the foreign kids brought a dish from their homeland so we had Mexican, Chinese and Japanese.
It was really very fun and the big group of kids hung out for hours! After eating, the women left the kids with the men and headed "uptown" for a Ladies Night Out. This was put on by the town with specials at each restaurant and bar and all shops staying open until 10. We even had carriage rides through town. Very fun!
Quincy worked all day today. Our friends own a local Marketplace with vendors from all over. They had the addition of a new vendor just recently who sells Christmas decorations. They needed help with sales and set up so they hired Quincy. Quincy enjoyed it very much and did a pretty good job in sales all day. He will work again tomorrow and then weekends as needed until Christmas. Should be making some good money!
Tonight was the big semi-formal dance for the kids' high school. It is only open to upper classmen so Tabitha couldn't go. Leo and Quincy both had dates however so they got all gussied up and headed out.
They each took their dates to dinner at separate restaurants and then walked to the dance. We will pick them up after and see how it all went. Very exciting!! So grown up!
