My hubby's niece Lauren is leaving Monday to do a semester of college in Italy! Tonight we went to Clark's mom's house to have a farewell dinner.... lasagna, salad, garlic bread and gelato with brownies. Yummy! It was lots of fun. I was in charge of finding Italian games/entertainment for the evening. We actually had a bocce set we had never used. Clark, Kyle and Kyle's friend Spencer figured out the rules before we headed to Mommo's house and the four kids played while dinner was finishing up. My kids and Clark's nieces all get along so well and it's great to see them together. During dinner I pestered Lauren with questions about her trip. When I went back to college in '06 I loved the idea of semesters abroad. This is a great opportunity for Lauren and I hope we can offer the same opportunity to our kids to study abroad w
hen they get into college. After dinner I had assembled a quiz I found online called "So You Want to Be Italian?" It was entertaining and informative tidbits of information about Italy. I had been looking for a card game, but the Italian card games required a modified deck and the rules seemed, at first glance, very complicated, so we left it at that. Kyle and Lauren did play a game of Speed while Ryann drew a "chibi" of Meghan, which turned out so amazing Ryann then had to draw one of Lauren. It probably took her thirty minutes to draw both of them. That girl's talent never ceases to amaze me! Of course, while his sister was drawing his cousins, Kyle was glued to his phone. He is my social butterfly and can't ever be off the grid!
¡Hasta pronto, mis amigos!
