Xander’s school had it’s International Festival today. We all went and Xander and Mira had a great time. His class was doing Norway this year. We contributed a wolf stuffed animal for the decorations in the class. Kate also made damper bread, which is a bread from Australia. Kate also took that on Monday to Xander’s class for International Snack and it was a big hit. For that, she also took some quince jelly (which we just bought) and a couple of quince fruit for the class to see.
Anyway, Xander and Mira had a great time going to the classes and doing the different projects that they had set up and looking at all the neat stuff people had brought in.
The food wasn’t as good as last year though. The school didn’t do a very good job this year of setting the expectation that everyone would bring food, and they also didn’t have things set up very well for the rain. Last year they had lots of tables set up in the great room. This year, they had a couple in the hall for the food, and you pretty much sat on the floor to eat. Not a great job.
The most imporant thing is that the kids enjoyed themselves though, and that was certainly accomplished.
