TO Mrs. Falls

Hello!! My name is Ayaka Kanehara. Please call me Aya. I'm twenty years old. How do you do, Mike and Terri .Thank you for inviting for me. I am a little worried because I am not very good in English. I am not good at speaking English but I want to speak English! I'm looking forward to seeing you.

I have a question. How many people do you have in your family and do you have a pet?

Sincerely,

Ayaka

I GOT A MAIL!! from Mrs. Falls

Hello from the Falls family in Minnesota!

Dear Ayaka,

Thank you for your email. We are looking forward to your visit to America.

Here is a little information about our family. Mike works for Travelers Insurance Company. Terri is a full time homemaker. Kailey is 17 years old and is a full-time student at the University of Minnesota. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Minnesota.

Miah is almost 15 years old. She attends Andover High School and also takes some classes at home. Carre is 5 years old and will begin going to Meadow Creek Christian School in September.

We had a toy poodle named Buddy for over 13 years, but he became sick and died in his sleep about 1 month ago. We are planning on getting another dog sometime soon.

We are leaving for a two week vacation tomorrow (Saturday June 28th). We will be driving to Mount Rushmore in the State of South Dakota (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore )and Yellowstone National Park ( http://www.nps.gov/yell/) in Wyoming and Montana. We will be returning home on Sunday July 13th. If we get the chance, we will email you while we are on vacation. If we can't email you while we are on vacation, we will email you when we get back home.

Attached is a photo of our family that was taken last September. Also attached are photos of our home in Andover, Minnesota. You will have your own room when you stay with us.

We are looking forward to meeting you! We are sure you will enjoy your stay! Please email us again if you find the time.

Mike, Terri, Kailey, Miah and Carre
