Julia found out last night that she got a full-ride scholarship (worth $10,000) for a foreign language study abroad program in Amman, Jordan. She will attend orientation in Washington, DC and will spend the summer studying Arabic at the University of Jordan.
AFS (which is the company that I did the exchange program with) is a sponsor of this program, and they were actually in charge of the interviewing process. High stress and very competitive - thousands of students applied!
In addition to her regular school classes, Julia is also studying to take the ACT in mid-June, and she is also supposed to do a lot of Arabic studying before she leaves (a few days after finals!)
Here are some more details:

Springtime!
Our old trampoline mat was ripping, so we had to get a new one. Annika helped Rob build a support wall to get ready for the new mat.
Annika made a fort by putting the old trampoline mat on top of the swing set.
Testing the new trampoline mat...
Getting the garden ready for planting!
