Fun front yard displays during lockdown

Sandra from Spain is our third exchange student. The pandemic has undoubtedly made this experience very unusual and very special. She is part of our family and holds a special place in our hearts.

We live in Queensbury, NY. Much of our area challenged people to create a rainbow display to give kids (adults enjoy this too!) something to hunt for on walks or rides. We decided to make sure our rainbow was easily found and represented the promise and hope of brighter tomorrows!

The experiences and the students have brought sunshine into our lives!

We had a lot of fun doing it together. We have loved our experiences with our students from Brazil, Italy, and now Spain. The experiences and the students have brought sunshine into our lives!
