So our middle school exchange student from Japan will arrive this coming Friday. Tomorrow is the day to get the room ready (he'll be sharing with our middle school son) and trying to plan out activities and good down time as well. So far...
Friday - The students arrive that day and go home with their host families. Figuring we do nothing that day but head to the house and have a good meal. What should we cook?
Saturday - My husband has a friend's wedding on the Olympic Peninsula but the youngest has a soccer game and soccer pictures and oldest likely has an ultimate game that day. Husband will leave around 10am for the afternoon wedding, me and the boys will drive out later and arrive around 8 or 9pm. Plan that day is likely good breakfast for all, then pack two days of lunches (one for on the road in evening, one for during the day on Sunday), do activities with the boys and then drive out to the peninsula. What about lunch that day in the hood? Perhaps a choice of movies for the road...what should they be?
Sunday - Have breakfast at the hotel or nearby. Hike the Lake Quinault Loop Trail (3.5 miles, flat, beautiful). Trailhead is ?? Then drive north around the west side of the peninsula and then see if the salmon are running up ?? Continue to drive around the peninsula and take the ferry from XX to YY and then drive home.
Monday - The middle schoolers go to class together, typical day. That night is the M's game against the Royals at 7:10pm. Pick up the boys from school or they walk. I get home at 5pm at the latest. We turn around and head down to the game. Where do we have dinner? Should we try to do the Space Needle this night? I am more likely to get away earlier from work that day (as Tues & Wed are study days).
Tuesday - The middle schoolers go to class together, the exchange students have a field trip to the Seattle Center and Space Needle (starts 9:30am). Oldest to meet exchange student in Japanese teacher's room after school. Pick up the boys from school or they walk. I get home about 6pm. We turn around and head to the Space Needle for dinner....too much to do this evening? What about Sunday? Monday? Make sure to pack that night for flight back to Japan.
Wednesday - Middle schoolers go to school. Exchange student is to bring luggage to Cafeteria and should arrive at 7:40. Farewell assembly in Auditorium at 7:55 (can get a request to report from any teacher to attend during first period). At 9am the yellow bus departs to take exchange students back to Japan.
Working out the details now....
