Last weekend my brother and his girlfriend Tiffany from Hong Kong came and visited with her parents. Her parents were here for the first time in the US so my brother was showing them all the sights of Utah, Vegas, and California. They were so much fun. We couldn't understand each other without Tiffany there to translate for us, but we really loved being with them. Tiff's parents loved Seth and Jaq, and the kids didn't seem to know that they couldn't understand them, but spent hours playing blocks and other games with our visitors. I think the first time Seth realized they didn't understand him was right before they left when a moth flew in our house and Seth wanted to catch it and show Cordelle. Well Tiff's mom just caught it and threw it in the garbage. Seth kept telling her that he wanted to show his dad, but obviously she couldn't understand him so she just threw it away anyways. He was way upset about it, so I tried to explain the concept of different languages to a 4 year old and I cant say it got through. Pretty much he was a little upset at her for a second, but like most things, got over it! Anyways here's some pictures we took with them when we took them to Cedar Breaks. Its been awhile since we've been up there so it was fun to see everything. Mostly they were just amazed by the snow! How funny. I guess Hong Kong is on the coast so they had to go all the way around the world just to see the snow. :)

I had Japanese exchange students from the time I was about 8 until I was in my mid-teens. The language barrier was always and issue, but kind of fun all at the same time. How neat you got to host them!
What a great experience! We had some girls from Switzerland stay with us for a summer. Learning about other cultures is so fun!!
