| We are a Homeschooling family, we have 3 children, twin girls 12 yrs old and a boy 8yrs old. We are very involved in our community, we love to be outdoors, in the summer we go for hikes, we love horses, swimming, camping, water sports. In the winter we stake, ski and do some snomobile riding. We love to read. We don't have TV Cable, only 2 channels, so we rent family appropriate movies and have family time (eating popcorn, hot chocolate) and play board games. We live in the country but drive often to the city, folks here are much friendlier (then city folks :) We love to learn from other cultures, we recently hosted some Korean students and now, have made friends forever! Perhaps in the future we will go to Korea to visit them! |
