Yesterday we had the privilege of hosting five International students from Mexico. We walked along the canal, drove by some Cobblestones and braved the cold lake breeze at the pier.
They were excited to see their first real cherry tree. Their enthusiasm was adorable.
Here at home we had planned a menu that featured local ingredients like maple syrup and kale. Mr. WestberryDad grilled chicken, NY state style. I made a maple flan from our farm eggs.
It was their first home cooked meal in more than two weeks, as they have been living in a hotel and working twelve hour days at the amusement park. I enjoyed watching the food on the table disappear.
I was honored when one boy said, "thank you so much for the flan. It reminded me of home."
W had some extra help with his Spanish homework. N fed the animals with extra "farm hands." The girls squealed and giggled as the sheep took grain from their hands.
It was a delicious day.
