Rain, rain go away!!!

It seems that we have left the desert heat and have landed in the land of cool temperatures and lots of rain. Fortunately the directors here are not bothered by the wetness outside. They still have plenty planned to keep everyone busy.

The kids have been busy spending time shopping (Serena's favorite), visiting museums, playing board games, watching movies, going bowling, and hanging out with their new friends. Last week the kids spent two days one of Switzerland's beautiful cities, Zurich. They were able to visit and indoor water park, the Zurich Zoo, and have a picnic in one of the city's park. The one things everyone seemed to like the most was the amazing views. European architecture is so m much different then anything we see in Las Vegas but is so beautiful.

While Chris and Serena were enjoying Zurich, Sarah and I took a quick trip to Paris. The two day voyage has us visiting all the sights. We saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower (much bigger than ours in Vegas), Sacre Coure, Notre Dame, and the many impressionists' masterpieces at the Musee D'Orsy. We took a few minutes to do a little bit of shopping as well. Luckily the rain only followed us for a few minutes on the trip so we were able to walk and see all these beautiful sights of Paris!

This week we are gearing up for a faculty versus students soccer game tonight and a day trip to the mountains. This is the trip that us teachers have been waiting for because we are stopping at a cheese factory and more importantly the chocolate factory!!
