As his visit with them comes to an end, Antoine's host mother Amy has sent us these photos and captions to let us know where the family and Antoine have been and what they have been up to.
Amy writes:
"I am emailing some photos of our adventures with Antoine. We are really enjoying having him as a member of our family for these few weeks. We couldn't have asked for a nicer student!
"The first weekend he was with us, Antoine offered to help with lunch, and he cooked a delicious dish that he said his grandmother often makes. He is a wonderful "big brother" to our children (ages 6 and 3), and I am very thankful that he is so tolerant of how long it takes our family to get out the door when we go places!"
The first Saturday that Antoine was with us, we went to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. Before visiting the aquarium, we went for a ride on a dragon boat.
Another day, after some time at the pool, we had some fun playing games and making s'mores with friends from our neighborhood.
Last Friday we spent some time in Amish country!
We took a buggy ride, toured an Amish house,
and ate dinner at a smorgasbord restaurant.
The weather was perfect last Saturday when we visited Philadelphia.
After Philly cheesesteak sandwiches for lunch, we took in some of the historical sights.

Upon reaching the famous "Love" sculpture,
we all agreed we had thought it would be bigger!
"Besides our trips out-of-town, Antoine has also enjoyed seeing Chocolate World and the Hershey Gardens, visiting Hersheypark twice, swimming at the Hershey and Hummelstown pools, and shopping at the Hershey Outlets and Park City Center in Lancaster."
