Connor is Off To See The World

Or At Least The Land Down Under!
Good Bye Abilene - See you in 15 Days!
He was so excited that I couldn't be nervous...that is until I left the airport.
The KS People to People Ambassadors.
Notice there are only 3 boys and a lot of girls!
Today is day 4 of Connor's Australian Experience. He is in Cairns, Australia where he has explored the Wet Tropics Rainforest and encountered the unique fauna, like koalas, kangaroos, crocies, and wombats at a wildlife sanctuary. He has gotten to interact with local Aboriginal people while watching a traditional aboriginal performance and even gotten to participate in a bush dance. I wonder if he likes Australian dances more than American dances...lol! Today he is snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. This was one of the activities he was looking forward to most. This mom sure is missing her baby boy but I am so elated that he is getting to enjoy this awesome opportunity.
