November Line Dancing Kicks It!

Au pairs came together on a cold and darkening evening to dance the chills away, have fun, and get some exercise in the process! We saw several techniques that au pairs brought from their own dancing styles to incorporate into the traditional Line Dancing steps. With master instruction from an experienced cowgirl, everyone was dancing in no time at all! Check out our photos on photobucket!

Celebrating International Adventures at Barefoot Books!

Vennesa telling Tales from Namibia

Vennesa telling Tales from Namibia

This weekend Barefoot Books invited our au pairs to participate in their International Fair to launch their new Atlas.   It was a beautiful weekend in New England and families and children drifted in throughout the day.  Our Mexican au pairs, Ana and Elisa, started the morning off with Mexican stories and making flags.   They also got to enjoy a belly dancer who stopped by to entertain the children.

After lunch Venessa from Namibia shared some stories from her country.  She added to the fun by dressing in a traditional native dress!   In the craft room  Susan and her friend, both from the Czech Republic helped the children decorate eggs and look at pictures of beautiful Prague.   Later some African drummers and dancers helped the children dance to the beat of their music!
