Our agency received our travel letters today. He is requesting a date at the consulate where we finalize everything right before we come home. It should be on 9/2 - 9/4. We should hear by Wednesday what that date will be. We are still on for travel on 8/21. Isn't that exciting. We will have to tell our agency by Tuesday what we want to do. Will we go to Beijing and see the Great Wall and the sites, or just go on to our daughters province? We are leaning toward going to Beijing. It is a once in a lifetime experience for us and we hate to miss it. It will cost a more than expected because of the Olympics, but we may have to splurge a little.
I took the boys swimming at the city pool this morning. Loren, Landon, Luke and Whitney went. They were very good. Landon has decided that he wants to swim and he is. I have tried in the past to instruct him but he didn't want to. He now wants to swim and he just swims. I am so proud of him. When he sets his mind to something he will do it.
The band sounded good. They do not have the complete show completed yet, but it is going to be good.
May God bless each of you.
