exchange student from spain


We had an exchange student from Spain in our home for 5 weeks. We had so much fun teaching him about America and Utah. We got to go lots of places. We spent a lot of time together with him and as a family. We enjoyed getting to know him. His name is Anton Larranaga.

This is the boys at the zoo. Bridger didn't go with us so it is just Anton, Connor and Scott.


This is us on the 4th of July doing snaps.


We went to boondocks and Anton loved riding the go-karts!





We spent a few nights at the Salem pond letting Anton fish.


We went to Fat Cat's Bowling. Anton got a strike on his first throw. He really enjoyed bowling, he is a very competative person!


We had a great time in Park City. We rode the Alpine slide and the new coaster that they have there. We went in the human maze but we weren't that excited about it. We had ice cream and chocolate from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory it was fun.





Connor played baseball this year. He was on the Red Sox. He had a great season. Anton learned a lot about the game. He had never watched a baseball game and he became very good and making calls on the plays. He enjoyed cheering for the boys on the team learning most of their names befor the end of the season.


We played cards at the family reunion. We taught Anton all of our favorite games.

Brian, Anton, and Scott all entered the pie eating contest at the family reunion.

Here is a close-up of Anton eating his pie with no hands.
