We rolled into town and went directly to the school where we had a meeting with our contact person to go over a few things. Then we got to meet our hosts for the week. We are staying with a lovely couple who live right across the street from the school. Convenient! From what we have seen so far, Faulkton seems to be a wonderful place to kick off our tour, and we look forward to exploring this sweet, little town further.
Backing up a little bit...
The school we were supposed to be at this past week rescheduled, so we spent the week at the home office doing a random assortment of jobs - sewing, sorting, cleaning, manual labor (Harrison only...of course.) We definitely found ways to amuse ourselves...
Anyway...
We also took the opportunity to walk around Sioux Falls a little bit. The downtown is riddled with interesting art work, primarily sculptures. They have an annual Sculpture Walk which is displayed year-round. I believe this year there were 55 sculptures. It is really neat and adds such a dynamic element to their downtown. We didn't get a chance to see all of them, because it was rainy the day we were out, but we loved what we did see.
Then we drove over by the Washington Pavillion. This is the local Performing Arts center, which also offers classes, camps, and events in science and visual arts. It is actually located in the building where my grandma went to high school! And I found these magical trees wearing sweaters! Amazing.
So, send us good vibes as we continue this journey. We will keep you posted!
Now, I need to go watch the tail end of the Seahawks game which we were lucky enough to watch most of here. (I say "most of" because I kept making Harrison switch back to Miss America.) Go hawks!
Love,
Carolyn and Harrison
I am so impressed with how far you have progressed in graphics and photo uploading. Hope auditions went well today! Love you, Mom
