Host families, children and au pairs gathered for our annual picnic and Host Family International Day in City Park this past Sunday.

Great company, delicious food and beautiful weather made the event especially successful.

While the parents enjoyed conversation, the children exercised their creativity at the crafts table, tried to eat a bagel off a string (look, ma, no hands!) and gamely faced the challenge of tied-leg races.

Multicultural awareness was brought to the forefront by everybody trying to connect world capitals to their respective countries!

The whole group enjoyed tasty food typical of different countries prepared by our wonderful au pairs.

A great time was had by all!
