Haruka, our Japanese exchange student.

We had a foreign exchange student come and stay with us for a little over a week. She would get picked up around 6:30am and get home around 4pm. She was so much fun. Haruka is brilliant. She speaks very good english and is only 9 years old. We took her and her friend Ayaka to the fire department. Ayaka's dad is a firefighter is Japan.
She couldn't believe how many bikes and fun things that we have.
Every day she would walk in and say, "May I please play?" Then the kids would go outside and play in the back yard.
She gave us all gifts. This is Emily's. We took her to gardener village to see the witches. She loved a sugar candy. Most of our candy was too sweet for her though. We really had the best time with her. We are so glad that we had that opportunity!!
