FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thursday: Today Anna and I woke up at 12:45. We then realized that Laura was supposed to come home at about 11 and we didn't here her. So we called and found out that she went back to her friends, and then we told her that we were awake and that she could come home. We felt kinda bad because we didn't hear her (oops). Instead of eating breakfast we ate lunch. It is called gulasch, it is noodles with meat and a different sauce. Its very very good. After I went to Quinn's to check on the house and I decided to call home really quick because I felt very homesick. After I called I felt better. After I went back to Anna's and I read for a little while to keep myself from feeling homesick. It worked! Then we invited Sina to come over, we decided to go rent some movies. We got "Matirial Girls" and "In her shoes". We first watched "Matierial Girls" and then had dinner. At dinner we had Sina, Laura and Katarina try Root Beer. They didn't like it at all. Their faces were so funny. Then they watched me drink it and they couldn't believe that I liked to drink it. After dinner we watched " In her shoes" They were good movies. We were having so much fun with Sina that we asked her to sleep over and she did! We stayed up laughing and talking for a while. It was really fun!
Friday: Today we woke up at about 8:30 ( much much earlier than yesterday morning) :) so we could let in the worker men that were coming to re-do the railing. We decided to make French toast for Sina to try. After breakfast Laura and I went to the pool to get in a swim workout. I had my coach send me a workout to do. But... I have to say it is really hard to do workouts without a coach there telling you what you change so that you can get better. Then we came home and we were trying to think of something that we could do, but we didn't have alot of choices because it was raining Blah! So after we had thought a while we decided that we would make chocolate chip cookies with the chocolate chips that Anna still had from last summer. So we rode our bikes in the rain to the store and bought everything we needed and came back and made cookies. They were very VERY good!! We made tons of them and ate one to many! When we were done I took a nap and then we had dinner. When we had cleaned up dinner we played Ligretto and Latters. It was so much fun I Love being here with their family, they are very nice and exteamly fun to be with!

Last Day of School
Wednesday:Today I got up and got ready to go to school with Anna. Then we left and went to meet Kali. We waited and waited and she didn't come so I called Quinn's house and found out that she had forgot to wake up Kali because she was doing something else. So she said she would send Kali on her way as soon as she was ready. So Anna and I went to school. It was her last day and we only had 3 classes. We came and had music for 2 classes and their last class was just getting their report cards. Kali came durring the 2nd class of music. Once school was out Kali went back to Quinn's to help her pack and get everything ready for their trip. Anna and I came to her house and made pizza it was soooooo good!!! After we watched TV, I couldn't understand it but it was still fun to watch. After a little while I went upstairs and took a nap for about an hour. Then Anna and I went to Quinn's and nobody answered the door, So we rode our bikes back to Anna's and then we went to the store with Katharine. After we came back home and went to Quinn's again. We found out when we came the first time Kali was there she was just sleeping. Quinn then showed me some stuff she wanted me to watch and take care of while she was gone. After we said bye to them and told them to have tons of fun on their trip to Italy. Then we came home and we decided to go to skate by night in Hannover. We invited Johanna to go with us. It was so much fun we, we went two different routes. It was fun and hard we started getting very tired by the end. After we went to a place called ALEX and we got something to drink I got a Alex tropical it was very good. After we came home and went to bed.

Sorry
Hey it's Kali. I am leaving for Italy in a few hours and the stupid site won't let me post more pictures right now bcuz something is going wrong, so you will just have to wait until I get back or maybe Kaelei will be able to work on pictures while I'm gone if she can get into Quinn's house. Anyways, sorry. I tried. Miss you guys!
Love, Kali
Love, Kali
PICTURES (finally)
hey guys we finally have some pictures up. look at posts from before, you may notice more PICTURES. The top one is me with Katharina and Dirk, Anna's parents, and it was taking at the dance i went to with Anna. The second is when kaelei and i were EXTREMELY bored at school. The third is of Jeffrey at his soccer tournament, and by the way, he scored a goal when he was playing storm, and he plays goalie most of the time. Quinn had never seen him play storm (offense) before. And the bottom is when we said goodbye to Coni at the church when we were going to the temple.

Sorry about the long wait
sorry about the no capitals, the keyboards here are way different and it's driving me insane to keep looking at the keyboard to find the buttons i want so just deal with the lowercase ok? lol it's kali again. WE ARE WORKING ON PICTURES!!!! sorry, that was worth the extra work to type all caps. we will be putting pictures on asap. ok, never mind. I will use capitals now. I give up, it's driving me nuts.
SUNDAY: We went to church with Quinn today. It was fun. We were the only girls who showed up for young womens so we went to relief society because they couldn't really teach us the lesson. Another girl showed up in time for sunday school. (Did we mention that church is in a different order, YW or YM, sunday school, sacrament meeting.) The teacher is really cool. He even translated some of the lesson and had us read out of an English B of M to the class. And we answered questions and it was just cool. Then for Sacrament Meeting we had translation again. It was a fast and testimony meeting and it was really cool. Kaelei and I wanted to go up but there just wasn't time. There was always someone bearing their testimony and by the time we figured out we just had to go up there and sit it was too late. That kind of sucked but oh well. After church we went back to Anna's house. We hung out untill around six and then we had a barbeque with another family. It was nice. We went to bed early that night, but we were still exhausted by morning.
MONDAY: Like I said, we were exhausted. It made school especially difficult because we didn't understand what was going on so we just weren't enjoying it as much as we would have been had we gotten more sleep the night before. oh well. After school we had lunch at Anna's house. It was yummy! We had spaghetti. After lunch we went to this cool little lake thingy that is famous for the eels it houses. Kinda creepy, right? We went around in a peddle-boat and had a blast. Kaelei, being the bright young blonde she is forgot about the sunglasses she was wearing and bent over the side of the boat and dropped her sunglasses into the murky depths. "oh well!" she said brightly, "they were only 3 euros and now the eels will enjoy them instead!" We laughed at her and continued our ride. We really will have rock hard legs when we get back! After an hour we went and got ice cream, which I must say was very yummy, so of course, being the klutz I am, I dropped my ice cream cone and the ducks got to enjoy it instead of me. Stupid ducks. It was a long car ride, and we honestly tried to stay awake, we really did, but we slept like the whole way there and back. There's just something about the car that just puts us to sleep instantly...we're going to be like Ken when we get home, asleep before the car reaches the end of the driveway! So when we finally reached home after our long nap, we had dinner and watched A Walk to Remember. Kaelei and I bawled our eyes out (of course) and Anna and her family laughed at us and teased us about it. Then Kali rode her bike home with Anna's dad and Kaelei and Anna stayed up into the wee hours of the morning sharing all their girly secrets without me. *sniff sniff* But that's ok. Because I stayed up just as late talking to my family on the phone. So HAH!
TODAY: Kaelei came over at about 7:30 a.m. and fell back to sleep until 9 then got ready. And Kali stayed in bed, not quite sleeping until like 10 a.m. Then she got ready and read the book A Walk to Remember while Kaelei and and Quinn studiously did their homework. Kaelei is FINALLY done with her Fitness for Life class and Quinn is still working on her math. Kaelei called her family today. We were planning on going to the zoo, but obviously the weather had a different plan becuase it is still raining. It's about 5:15 and we have swim practice at 7:30 and we don't know if we can go due to bad weather. Cross your fingers. Well, Kaelei is sick of waiting for me lol while I type cuz she wants to watch a movie. So do I. Miss you, love you, post comments, we are working on the pictures,
Love, Kali and Kaelei

Kaelei and Kali having a BLAST!!!!!!
Well its just me (Kaelei) and Kali left. We were very happy to know that Lisha made it home safely.
Obviously we have been very busy because we haven't wrote on our blog for a while! Here is what we have done since Lisha left.
On Thursday we went to school we were supposed to have 8 classes but since their teacher wasn't there for class 8 we only had 7. By class number 3 we were dying because it was so hot!!!!!!!!! We were hopping that they would call a heat free day which is when they let you out of school because its so hot. After class 6 they called the heat free day we were so happy. When we got back to Quinns we ate Fettucine Alfredo again. We were so happy we LOVE that stuff. After that I sat down and did my online homework from about 2 until 6. It was really tireing sitting and working that long but it was very good because now i am so close to being done. While I did my homework Kali took a nap. After Quinn took us to the E center to shop for some food and other stuff. After we got home we ate Abendbrot (for dinner). We were supposed to go to swim to but it started pooring so we couldn't ride our bikes. It sucked! After that we sat down and peeled potatoes and watched 50 first dates. It was so much fun!!!!
YAY THE 4Th OF JULY!!!
Friday we got ready for the party that Quinn was throwing to celebrate the 4th of July, by finishing the potato salad; making brownies; making cake, making hamburger patties and cleaning. She said we could invite some friends that we had met at school and other places to come. We invited, Anna, Sina, Judith, Niles, Bennedict, and Karo (sorry those might be spelled wrong). We had so much fun we ate all American food and we played Pit, Latters, and Golf it was so much fun. After we stuffed ourselves full. We went to a Hannover 96 game against one of the city teams. Hannover won (6 to 1) because they are a profesional team. After the game we said bye to our friends and we went to Quinn's to pack for Anna's. Kali only packed for a few days and I packed everything because I will be staying with Anna from now until I go home.
Today (Saturday) we woke up and got ready to go to Jeffery's Fussball (Soccer) game. When we got there I felt exteamly sick. I ended up throwing up. Kali went and got me some sprite to help my stomach it worked for a few minutes. After all that we watched Jeffery played his game. He was so cute!! he ended up making a goal it was AWESOME! We were so happy for him. After I had to decide if I wanted to go to Hannover with Anna and Kali or if I wanted to stay home because I felt sick. I ended up going. Katharina took us and we went and met one of her friends and we had brunch. It was very good. (By this time I started feeling much better than I had yearlier.) We also met some of Anna's friends from Hannover their names were Lara and Lisa. We went shopping around Hannover it was fun! After we said by to her friends and we came home. Then we decided we wanted to watch a movie so we went to Anna's next door neighbor and asked him if we could borrow a movie. He was very nice and said yes! So we went down in his basement and his basement was set up as a small theater it was really cool. Then he offered us to stay and watch the movie there. We accepted! We watched "The Sixth Sense" You should've saw us we looked so scared we were holding eachothers hands and we would squeal and cover our faces it was so funny. After we left and went back to Anna's and we got ready to go to a birthday party for a man who was turning 50 that she knew. Anna, Kali, Dirk, and I decided to ride our bikes we rode for 15 miles to get to the party. The party was at glider airport. They had steaks and chicken and french fries and salads and ice cream. It was so yummy. We had lots of fun, we all decided we ate too much because we were stuffed. When we were done eating and visiting, we rode our bikes back to Anna's. We made a quick stop at Quinn's so we could grab a few things we forgot. So our total amount of bike riding today was about 30 miles. We are going to have some rock hard legs by the time we get home. YAY!! After we got back we gave the Rust family their gifts from us. They loved them!
