Well last friday 12 girls arrived from the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI). The arrived in a whirlwind! There are 8 girls staying her plus 2 girls from Maryland and 2 teachers and the lade who is filming all this for us. So the total of people in this house wiith my family is.... 19!!!!! Their first night I hosted a dinner for 36 people. The chef took care of most of the food except for the lasagne and meatballs. We all ate and then settled in for a short sleep before we got up to take 26 people to New York City. Now stop thinking that I an a looney toon. We had 18 kids and 8 chaperones. Everything went well despite being late for every activity except the last one. We took a ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty, then off to the Museum of Natural History for movies (naps for the chaperones) then to a fabulous dinner at Sambucca's We then traveled via subway to the theater to see Mary Poppins. I have to say was one of the best that I have seen. I hate musicals and usually after and hour I am begging for them to stop singing. But not with Mary Poppins. It was so well done. It was Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. And yes all the kids can now spell it! Then we headed home and fanally arrived at 3 a.m. We slept in and then got ready for their first day of classes.
It has been a whole week already and I have to admit that I am way too tired and they are not! We did so much already and have a lot more to do....
Here are the pics of the kids They are all so cute and fun! Hopefully we will have some video to share soon.
