A Day at CCDS- A Day with Friends

Today the Cabo students spent the day at CCDS. They attended the Halloween parade this morning. CCDS celebrated it today because the school is closed tomorrow/Halloween Day for teacher /parent conferences. Then they visited with our head of school and went to a 2nd grade Spanish class. Upon returning to the middle school campus, the students did special activities with their CCDS buddy and had fun being with other students.

After school, Morgan and Regina went to my sister Cary's house - which is just across the road from CCDS. Cary is a professional ceramist (person who makes ceramics). She showed Morgan and Regina how to use the potters wheel and make objects out of clay. Morgan made a dog and Regina made a bowl. Cary also has a chicken coop at her house and the girls enjoyed running around in the back yard with the chickens!!

The Farewell Party was held tonight at the Touma's house. All the CCDS host families brought the food for the dinner and it was a big success. We had an artist come and draw caricatures of each student. The kids absolutely loved this and laughed throughout the event as they watched one another have their faces drawn. Then they all ran outside for a quick game of flash light tag.

The evening ended with a special friend stopping by our house - Animal Planet's Jeff Corwin. Jeff is the Animal Planet guy who is best known for his shows "Corwin's Quest" and "Planet in Peril". Joe and I have known Jeff for several years and he was in town doing a promotional tour for his newest TV show topic - Save the Frogs. Check out his website:

After such a long and busy day, the girls were very tired and promptly went to bed. Halloween is tomorrow - we all need our sleep tonight!!
