Australia Day

We have some good friends here who are Australian (from Sydney) and they invited us over to celebrate "Australia Day" (I guess comparable to our 4th of July). They say it normally involves watching a cricket match, eating some good bbq, and just relaxing with friends. Some of their family even sent them some goodies to help celebrate, including Australia tattoos and a blow-up kangaroo! Justus loved the kangaroo. There were twin boys (8 years old) there too and he had the most fun beating them both over the head with it!! They were good sports about it :)He definitely was not a fan of his "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" tattoo at first. But once I washed it off he wouldn't stop asking for it! In fact, every time I put him in his high-chair and roll up his sleeves to get ready to eat, he still says "Aussie!"
Okay, okay - but they were empty and we had to! Justus actually started playing with them first since they were just sitting on the floor with the other recycling. According to our friends, they don't actually even drink Fosters in Australia.
Our fun hosts - Heidi and James. They cooked us a serious FEAST! It was a blast. I dominated at Australian trivia (who knew??) and we kept Justus up way too late, but it was worth it :)
