let's join them for a typical American

weekend at home

our home here is fairly large we have

four bedrooms an office a bunch of

England we'd say it was three reception

rooms but it's a front room a dining

room and a breakfast nook we do a lot of

things around the house on the weekend

we garden quite a bit working in our

garden we play basketball on the

basketball court we got out and back at

the weekends here I go out a lot with my

friends on Friday or Saturday night

sometimes we'll go to the movies or just

go to other people's houses and watch

videos usually Saturday afternoon is

crank up the barbecue and that's our

meal because during the summer it gets

pretty hot here and sometimes you just

want to be outside rather than the

inside

in California you really have two

seasons from our entertainment point of

view spring summer and fall are very

much the same type of activities than in

winter is very different on the

activities that we do on a weekend

summertime activities are usually

involved around the children's sports my

youngest son plays Little League that's

baseball you're going to see a lot of

little boys taking a game very very

seriously they're all dressed up in

their uniforms there will be quite a few

teams because it's a large park area

that they play in and there are a lot of

teams a lot of different colored

uniforms and they're all playing their

game

country
