Taiwan Exchange Boys

So, I've been wanting to be a little more involved in the community and schools and haven't really known how.  And then the Su Ma Ma chinese club fell into my lap.  My neighbor was asked to be on the board and I told her I would love to help.  And as a result, we got to host 2 sweet taiwanese boys for 2 weeks!!

Meet Justen and Ciber... or as we call them Justin Beiber. :)

Part of the fun of hosting was being invited to the activities that were planned for the group while they were in Utah.  We went to Heber and Had a fun barbeque and toured a really old antique ranch that was SUPER fun.  They let the boys feed calves and milk cows.

Just a couple pictures of the boys goofing off.  The antiques were amazing and ranged from tools, to pictures to old school phones and desks. 

Everyone loved the hay ride and eating smores to their hearts content.

We took the boys to the RES a few times and they liked hanging out in our 8 passenger raft.

Cute MIMI eating sand.

The best part of the RES is the sand bar that you can build in.  Kind of like our own little Springville Beach!

Another host family hosted a pool night at their multi acrea spread.  Super fun house and yard. 

These Pictures below crack me up.  They had a cool swing tied to the tree over their tramp.  First, you see Sam pushing Nate and then you see Nate trying to push Sam and getting pummeled.  Haha.  good thing they are brothers and are used to rough play!

One night it was a full moon and we took all our kids on a ski lift ride up SunDance to see the full moon.  It was super fun.  It comes free with season passes and is super worth it to take the time to go for a relaxing ride up the mountain.

One evening all the Tawain students put on a show for Sage Creek.  It was pretty cool to watch and see the chinese in action.  They packed all their instruments and props and brought them just to perform for us.

Very talented kids

At the end of the play, Sage Creek taught all the students the Wave Your Flag dance.  I love that our elementary does a school dance each year.  Super fun!

And a close up of our actors and goof ball kiddos!

Good Bye tawain friends!!!  You have been fun to have around for a few days.  Come again soon!
