But only for the week.  We are welcoming a Japanese exchange student into our home for a one week program.  A whole year would be very daunting, but a week we can handle.  I hope.  I keep telling my kids every night at dinner that when we have our Japanese student, &#8220;this kind of behavior&#8221; will not be acceptable.  I&#8217;m hoping we don&#8217;t a)SCARE the kid, or b) SCAR the kid for life.  He comes on Thursday night and he will be with us for one week.  Mostly they have field trips and activities around the city every day.  They are going to work on a farm, go up to Park City, and to this is the place state park. We just have to take him and pick him up from BYU every school day, (we have a carpool in place), then we&#8217;ll get to entertain him in the evening and on the weekend.  <\/p>\n<p>But what to do?  If you were only in Utah for 6 days, what are the essential things to do?<\/p>\n<p>Temple Square?<br \/>\nThanksgiving Point?<br \/>\nA Corn Maze?<br \/>\nBoondocks?<\/p>\n<p>We have some different options, but we&#8217;re not exactly sure what to take him to.  We kind of want to ask him what he thinks and let him decide.  The kids want to take him EVERYWHERE and do EVERYTHING, but I think they are just using him as an excuse to go out to eat at their favorite restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>What would YOU want to do if you had only a few days to see Utah?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we will add an extra member to our family.
