Tuesday, November 2, 2010 was Ayaka's last night in the United States.  We went to a going away party for all seven of the Japanese exchange students that evening.

Ayaka, the kids, and the two Karens (pronounced Karin!)

They were a bit tired after a full day at Disney.

The kids and their mouse ears.

Each family had to stand up and tell a little about their experience.
The Dewey family of six for one last picture...

Jase and Jason

The students saying a thank you and good-bye.

The girls were SO sad to see her go.

Jase too.

We love you Ayaka!

It was such a wonderful and amazing experience for our family.
