So for Family Home Evening on Monday we decided to have a Culture Night. We picked a country and found out a little more about it and also made a meal specific to that country. We decided to pick Australia. I was in charge of the country information and Layne was in charge of making dinner. Since the aussies love to use the "barbie" we had a nice steak dinner. He made a bread they call Damper (picture below) and also a dessert called Pavlova....very sugary :) I just did a table cloth with paper and wrote the facts of Australia on the table to read over at dinner.
It was fun to learn about some place new. We may just make this a monthly tradition. Culture Night....I highly recommend it!!
Some Facts about Australia:
- Aus. is approximately the size of the U.S excluding Alaska and Hawaii
-Aborigines were the 1st to settle Aus until 1770 when Cpt. James Cook explored the east coast and claimed it for Britian
-The national colors of Aus. are Green and Gold because they represent the floral emblem the Golden Wattle.
-Australia is home to the platypus, kookabura, and the koala to name a few
-The Great Barrier Reef located in Aus. is the largest in the world
-Some Famous aussies: Nicole Kidman, Heath Ledger, Keith Urban, Russel Crow, Mel Gibson, and Hugh Jackman

That looks like a lot of fun. That's a great idea, we might steal it for one of our FHE's.
Thanks for sharing your fun night. We're stealing this idea too. Hope that's OK! Zachary is constantly asking questions about things and places. What a good opportunity for everyone to learn something new! Hope all's good at your place!
What a cool idea for a family night.
