Spring Concert and Port Aventura

I'm getting really bad at getting these updates online. I'm blaming it on the weather. We've had glorious sunny days. Last friday the kids had a Spring concert. More specifically Jessica's class performed with a few others. Andrea and some of the kids in the Drama club performed a song from Godspell. I didn't get pics of that. I got video but I'm still having issues uploading those.

here is Jess and some of her class. They sang Do Re Mi. Her friend Karina had a solo as Maria.

That night the school held their International Food Festival. There were a lot countries represented with some very interesting and great food. I worked at the American table. Alexa and I had made little apple pie tarts. My favorite was the Russian table, where they had halupki. Yummy! We left early though because we had plans on Saturday with our friends, the Lasso's.

We woke up bright and early on Saturday to drive to Port Aventura. It's a Universal Theme park about an hour outside of Barcelona. It was an overcast day and a little chilly but we made the most of it. The kids had a great time on the rides...

Here we all are waiting for the Runaway train ride.

The kids are finishing up the school year. It's hard to believe it's almost over. News of friends who won't be returning is slowly coming in. Alexa has found out her four closest friends won't be here after the summer. She is having a rough time of it. Never the less, all four were talking about staying longer than two years on the way home from Port Aventura. Andrea is considering graduating from here. Alexa was in agreement until this week when she heard the news about her friends. Now she wants to go back to the US this year. I'm hoping they are content with a few weeks. We are planning on being in Massachusetts from August 10th through 29th.

So that's the news for now.

love and miss you all!!
