Day 5: Authentic Australian

This morning after breakfast, we headed over to Dave’s other uncle’s house for “tea”.  We had a very nice visit with his Aunt & Uncle, Ava & Gus, and two cousins, Hanadi & Khalil.  They spoiled us with lots of cakes and cookies.  We even had some authentic Australian Anzac cookies, which were originally introduced to us by one of Ben’s classmates back home.  They were very yummy and fun to dip in the tea.

After tea, we headed to the mall to explore.  We bought a few more souvenirs -the boys bought authentic Australian wallets and the girls got some authentic Australian opal jewelry.

When we got back, Charlie & his family came over and the kids played in the park until it started to rain (real, authentic, Australian rain).

Later, we all met up with Fouad’s family for pizza and a movie; Ice Age 4 (the Australian version).  It was a lot of fun.
