...although the exchange is far from over. As most of you know, we arrived back in Calgary on the evening of July 1, Canada Day, a fitting day to introduce Vika and Natalia to our home and native land. It was a long journey home, with some minor delays and difficulties, but everyone performed well and even caught up on some much needed rest. Vika and Natalia showed no signs of being nervous about their first ever flight (see picture) and were rewarded on the Amsterdam-Calgary leg by being upgraded to business-class seats! A big thank you to our friends and family who welcomed us home at the airport (and had to wait a long time listening to country music while we sorted out missing luggage).
We've been busy adjusting back to work and family life here in Calgary, but we are having a great time hosting Vika and Natalia here. Their hosts, Angi and Matt have been taking very good care of them, and this weekend they also experienced Calgary Stampede with Katie and Christy, and Spruce Meadows with me and my family. Yesterday Analu introduced them to their first day at Eau Claire YMCA Day Camps, and they experienced getting caught in one of Calgary's drenching summer rainshowers.
