We have had such a memorable summer -- A trip to Italy and Bavaria with the Clark family, World Cup soccer, summer jobs, girl's camp, scout camp, and EFY in Nottingham, England. And this past Monday Christian left for Berchtesgaden for a week with the young men of our stake at Camp Helaman (a missionary preparation and adventure camp).
Here is a quick recap of the kids' fun EFY experience: 15 hour bus rides, ferry rides across the English Channel and a glimpse of the White Cliffs of Dover, a taste of British food (granola bars and Goldfish to stave off the near starvation), late nights and early mornings, wonderful new friends, British accents and idioms, scripture and gospel study classes, winning the dance competition (Bryant and Lissie placed first and Christian and Stephani Ray second), performing I'm a Believer in the variety show, dances, game night, morningsides and devotionals. And finally . . . having to say "cheers" until next time.
Here is a YouTube link to their enthusiastic variety show performance (just copy and paste if it doesn't connect):

It was such a wonderful blessing for our kids to have had this experience. Thank you Kaiserslautern Military Stake and the Area Presidency for making it all possible!
In the next the couple of weeks we will be back into our school and seminary schedules along with soccer, ballet and ballroom dance.
SO LONG . . . Summer of 2010!
