Didn't do to bad. I think I only missed one of the ones I filled in. But I left 3 blank, and I forgot to answer a couple of the * questions.

Oh well, it was fun, and I learned while searching.

I only missed a couple, but I didn't find out about it until today...we were gone when the contest was posted and I forgot to catch up... :(

Our son got milk from bags in China! Now he's going to live in Spain for a year...
I want to go to Israel!! (stomps feet...pouts... knows it won't do any good!!! LOL
I loved Colleen's wanting to bring home ancient marble columns in her suitcases...I would, too! :)

What memories you all will have. If I were there and had to leave, I would probably hide in the airport and miss my flight home. "Oops!! Oh well, I'll just have to stay now and become a citizen..." Right? Of course, right!!
Shalom, beautiful family!!

Yee hee! I won :) I'm so sad though that I didn't get a chance to have the girls go through it and try too. I'm going to try at some point anyway just so they can learn all the stuff.

Do I keep repeating myself when I say "I am sooo jealous!!" LOL. How COOL to swim in the Mediterranean Sea!! I'm sure Tally and Celine will appreciate it and they look like they are having a really good time. I feel so sorry that Lillian might not remember most of it :(

Love you!

Congratulations, Kathleen!!! I thought that was a really hard test. I was stressing out over it. So glad Kathleen won the contest so now I can sleep at night!!

What a wealth of knowledge you all have learned firsthand about these people who live on the other side of the world. I'm betting they will forever hold a special place in your heart!!!

Love, Mom
