American Heritage Academy...

CAMP! The American Heritage Academy in Plantation Florida…..
I’ve been training them for this fun experience for the last 6 months now, well you see this is all new for them they’re really with us all the time on vacation and the camp is all in English and here in the US they separate boys and girls, so it was quite a challenge for them… Friday…we went to visit the school to make sure it was as I expected…and it sure was….Amazing, what a campus very New England, all in brick and it even has a beautiful clock tower, huge campus with so many facilities it makes us in Europe look like we live in a third world country, unbelievable and then the teachers and all those counselors so great and so supportive I was so glad about our choice of school.
We got up at 6:30 (not so bad because we are still a bit jetlagged) the bus picked them up in front of the gate at 7:20 (Sheryl the bus driver a super nice lady with the wildest hairdo put the kids at ease right away) everything went great so far, I have until 4:45 to hang out and enjoy the time to myself….yeah!
When I picked them up Dylan held on to me with tears running down his face and said it was terrible and that he hated it and that he wasn’t gong back! In the mean time I glanced back at Chloé and said what about you ‘’I loved it…’’I knew she would the school is wonderful and with all those TV series (Raven, School Musical, etc…)she watches well she’s kind of living a real live movie, because the school is just like out of a movie….Dylan on the other hand I knew would have a tougher time… he acts like a dude with all of his buddies and when he knows everyone but the minute he knows no one he doesn’t integrate himself that easily, therefore I knew he would have a problem with it…Plus the boys in the states are a bit , I don’t know how to put it but they are much bigger and more direct , I know it may sound weird but it’s true, in the small school we are at they are more refine! ….
So there was no giving in he was definitely going back tomorrow, the big thing was how not to make it so painful for him….I know be rough but you know his still my little baby boy...
