Who We Are - The Family
We're a pretty direct group - lots of opinions and a sense of freedom about sharing them - no judgment/very tolerant. We go back and forth to LA where we are from, so DISNEYLAND and THE BEACH! The girls play lacrosse; Cole is an actor and singer. We have plenty of money, but not a lot of extra money. Our house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We live near wilderness AND a premier shopping mall!! Academics are very important in our home, but so is hilarious tv, excellent music, facebook, and really good chocolate. Lots of red hair...lots of irony...plenty of banter. We go to the gym. Mom works, so we're an independent group... and we have a couple of families we are close with. We try to take advantage of this lovely place we live in ... visiting us will include the desert, the mountains, city, ocean, lakes, frozen yogurt, freeways, a bit of museuming and a lot of laughter. Unless you don't like laughter, in which case... there won't be any.
Who I am - The Exchange Student
The youth in this family are high-achieving, but normal teens. They're outgoing and welcoming. They all need work on their Spanish! Hopefully the description of our family gives you a sense of our personalities, because people often note how funny it is that we are very much alike.
