Some news from the Boissonneaults (Naomi and Cheri's family) and the Sawyer/Raszmann's (Marty's family)

Liz and Kevin Boissonneault are organising a whale watch trip the week after next, anyone interested should contact the Boissonneault's directly, the details are in the host family handbook. Meanwhile Liz had Cheri and Naomi out for lunch and the waitress asked...wait for it....were they TWINS!!!!! it's now official, separated at birth, reunited at last!!.

They also got the most enormous cookie cake (and I bet they ate it all too).

Val and I visited Marty's hosts last night and had a great time. Dinner was excellent, dessert was provided by Maryy and Zeb who had baked Brownies from scratch (no pre-mixed packets from them). However it would be nice if Marty unpacked instead of living from his suitcase!!!

Here are the boys relaxing with Deb and Seth.

Finally the boys, Marty with Eben and Zeb, Eben, Marty.

Finally Val and I want to invite you to our Pond Party (well it's really Frank and JoAnn's Pond Party but we are claiming ownership). We're looking for as many on the American and NI young people to join us from 1pm on Saturday 23rd July for a splash around in the Pond. Bring your swimsuits sunblock and noodles if you have one. Pizzas will be at 530 and then your family can pick you up around 7-730. The venue is 12 Gin Mill Lane (Frank and Joann Griffin's home)

next blog will be the surfing
