The time of their lives
My two kids had the time of their lives. They loved their teachers and learned a lot – not just English, but about other cultures, due to the large diversity in their friends’ backgrounds. And they thoroughly enjoyed their activities in the afternoons. They told us that they didn’t really miss us – which I take as a great sign.
