Hot Sun, Cool Beach







We had a perfect day for relaxing at Lake Bloomington, at the home of longtime program friends Wayne and Joyce Oberlander. They opened their lake home and their hearts to yet another group of exchange students, which they have been doing for decades. Swimming, floating, tubing, skiing, volleyball, bags, soccer, lots of good food and drink and just hanging out together on a beautiful day ... what more can we ask for?

This annual event is usually one of the students' favorite, and it did not take long for them to find fun in the water. Many of the students tried water skiing for the first time ... some succesful, others not so. Some of our German guests learned what "shucking corn" was all about! Still others competed in an unofficial diving contest. No matter where you looked, you saw everyone having great fun and we thank the Oberlanders for their generous support of the youth exchange.
