G'day Mate!

The Ford's were a little under the weather this week.  Total bummer.  Never the less, through the sneezes and sniffles this "sheila" managed to get our Australian night checked off the map...with a little help from Outback Steakhouse....Points for creativity, Dad!

Outback can't help but reminds all of us of Grandma Debbie, it was one of our favorite places to meet up for dinner in Prescott...her ears must have been ringing :)  We haven't been there in forever but it was just as tasty as we remembered!  Ayden loved the bloomin' onion (who doesn't?) and Zoie ate daddy's lemon all while giving us some amazing sour faces.  We even tried to see which one of us could write their name the best using our left hand.

Dad went cursive...show off.

Australia has been on my bucket list for lots of reasons but mainly because it looked like so much fun when Oprah went.  Who's coming with me?  Keeping with tradition we brought along our facts to read.  Here's a little Aussie vocab for ya.  I love the way they speak, I might just start adopting it....that's normal right?

• Cotton candy - "fairy floss"  ( I mean honestly, does that get any cuter?)
• French fries are "chips" and potato chips are "crisps"
• Clothes - "clobbers"
• Candy - "lollie"  They call the game Candyland, "Lollieland".
• Girls are "sheilas" and boys are "blokes"
• If something is terrific it's a "ripper"

Cheers!  To our 23th country!  Holla!
