December 2nd, Bowling at Jewel Lake Bowling Center

 

We had a great time at the Jewel Lake Bowling Center. A fun filled afternoon and many champions evolved this afternoon! We had 3 new Au Pairs arriving in November, and they all participated in our Au Pair Activity. A great opportunity for new Au Pairs to meet our “Happy Group of Au Pairs.” It was also time to say good bye to Yira as she will be leaving us soon,  and we all will miss her! Dinner was at the Suite 100 Restaurant and we enjoyed good food, and lots of laughter and chatting was going on.

We had two visitors, Josefine and Madeleine were au pairs from the program 3 years ago, they joined us for dinner and told stories from their past. Everyone got a good laugh!

Sunday May 22nd. Great fun at Eklutna Lake kayaking and enjoying a BBQ

A perfect Alaska sunshine day  for 14 au pairs,  their LAR,  and 1 host dad with his teenage daughter,  coming to the kayaking adventure at Eklutna Lake. The weather was just perfect for this outdoor adventure, and the food was delicious.  Everyone had a lot of fun and was enjoying paddling up the Lake surrounded by the snowy peaks of the Chugach Mountains.  Afterwards we were all hungry and ready for our BBQ.

Host Dad Jay Fayette and Au Pair Alex (boy)  did most of the grilling of chicken and sausages. The potluck was a success, we had many nice salads, dips, breads, cookies and of course Jeny’s superb homemade brownies!!  Perfect timing for our two new au pairs Yira and Beliks from Panama which had just arrived on Friday and were able to meet our great group of au pairs. A nice thank you to Jeny (from Columbia)  for organizing the car pooling! Great Job all!

Everyone enjoyed the rounds of competitive games, the snacks and good music. Some of us went out for Sushi Dinner afterwards to round off a great afternoon! Thanks to all my au pairs for coming!
