The kids participated in the Super Summer Swap held over at http://lifeofadairyqueen.blogspot.com/ . They had fun picking out things for their partner and couldn't wait to see what they got as well. Joshua's swap partner was Cori over at http://scottchriscoricassicali.blogspot.com from Alaska. Joshua was they only one that did not receive a swap partner of his same gender. I was a little worried at first but he has loved emailing her and finding out what life is like in Alaska. Like a bad Mom I forgot to take a picture of what he sent her. But, here is what we sent: personalized stationary, personalized magnets, a horseshoe, a postcard of Texas, and there must have been something else but I just can't remember. Here is what Joshua received: an Ulu knife, a special knife used by the Eskimos for generations, a pooping moose (something that most boys get a kick out of in Alaska, and Texas too!), sponge waterballs, lots of books and info on Alaska, postcards (that were supposed to be for our world map but Joshua won't let me have them now), a chocolate bar, a sketch pad and pencils (Cori made the sketch pad out of a cereal box and thought of it just for Joshua. He mentioned to her that he liked to draw but that he did not think he was very good. She thought this way he could practice. Very Sweet!). Joshua had fun with the swap and met a new friend. I hope they can keep in touch! 
Joshua with all of his goodies!
