Second Post in a Week...Woooo!

Okay, I promised to keep the blog posts coming. Last time I blogged I was listening to Dani clean and pack her room...now I am listening to Amy do the same. Reality is beginning to hit that these girls of ours are leaving in a week and a half and we have so much to do yet...including blogging the entire month of May, so I better get started!

After prom we made a trip to Fremont for George's birthday, went to an amazing music concert that both Dani and Amy were involved in (and I directed of course), two awards nights and graduation (which they skipped to help George deliver bulls across South Dakota) all in one week. It was a tiring week for all of us! By that point we were in countdown mode to the end of school. One week and 1.5 days left. In that last week we had a Dinner/Theater (Elementary Spring Musical) that the girls and George helped make and serve food for and Dani also ran the lights while I ran the sound. Plus we spent last weekend going to the last couple of places we wanted to take the girls to before leaving on our final road trip.

Today we had our last 1/2 day of school. (Notice we are experiencing a lot of "lasts" now, which makes this Host Mommy sad.) The amazing thing about the whole experience of hosting these girls is that I am so incredibly sad about their leaving that I was even sad that today was the last day of school! I am also so happy though because I know that the feeling of sadness comes for good reasons but more about that in a different post.

Anyway, I thought I would share a few of the pictures from our trip to Snake Falls and Smith Falls that we took this past Saturday. Both of these places are within 50 miles of our home so it wasn't a long road trip to get there but well worth it. George also took the girls to Scottsbluff (about 3 hours from us) on Sunday to climb the big butte (I stayed home to do laundry...fun, fun).

Snake Falls--about 25 miles south of Valentine.

He was there for about 10 minutes and got SOAKED.

This is so Dani and George--goof balls!

Smith Falls--about 15 miles east of Valentine.

They have so much fun together.
