Exhange Student

So a neighbor called a few days before we left on our cruise and asked if we would like to have an exchange student from Spain live with us for the month of July. Since we were already doing lots of fun stuff that month and since she was from Spain I thought sure, why not? por que no? So the day we got back from our cruise we met Ainhoa Fernandez. She is from Pamplona, known for the Running of the Bulls. She is 15 and very sweet. She was so laid back and cute with the girls. There were 4 other exchange students also from Northern Spain in our neighborhood, so she didn't get too bored. We took her horseback riding, she went to church with us (even though she's catholic) She even went to girls camp, we took her up to the cabin, to swim lessons, to the Aquarium, all the 24th festitivities in Spanish Fork, of course the mall, and Temple Square. We basically dragged her everywhere we went but she didn't seem to mind. Horseback riding at the farm

We had a Spanish dinner where the exchange students prepared us a Spanish meal of paella, tortilla de patata and flan.

Abby and Emma wanted to dress up for the dinner in thier flamenco dresses from Spain.

Mirium and Ainhoa liked to watch Lance's softball games. After the games we'd go to the park.

My mom and I took Ainhoa and Mirirum to Temple Square the Sunday before the left. They really liked it.
