Multicultural Night...and Weekend



Our school had a fun Multifcultural Night last weekend. We learned alot about many different countries, tried lots of new food, and watched dancers from Mexico, India, and more. The boys even tried a little dancing themselves! It was a neat experience topped off by dinner at a family in our ward's home on Sunday.


This amazing family takes a trip to Guatemala each year and they invited us over for dinner and a slide show of pictures taken during their trips. Kelly was in heaven! He enjoyed talking about Guatemala with people who love it as much as he does. The boys were far more fascinated with their state of the art home theater (which included recliners, and a popcorn and soda machine!) then anything else, but they did love seeing pictures of where their dad served his mission. And, the food was delicious! We ate plantains with honey, black beans, rice, chicken, grilled corn on the cob, homemade tortillas and licuado (kind of like a fruit smoothie). The boys think I should make this dinner every night!

Fun weekend! That's cool that your school does a multi-cultural night. I love the diversity. Great for kids.

A popcorn machine and a soda machine? SERIOUSLY! I can see why the boys were impressed! Party house! Love the boys' hats! The food looks yummy - especially the SMOOTHIES!
