We had a very fun ward activity on Saturday. We did a "Tour Africa" theme and had authentic African food and saw African Dancers, and had a good time. Callie was disappointed that we did not actually get to go to Africa, because she had hoped to get to visit Grandma and Grandpa Fox, who are on their mission in Kenya. She was able to overcome her sadness and she had fun anyway. I told the children that I wanted them to try the food so they would know what Grandma and Grandpa were eating over there, and to my surprise, they did!
Joshua made friends immediately with this young man. He had a Nintendo DS and the boys had a marvelous time together with it till dinner.
Delaney has rice, chicken and cow leg on her plate. She was happy with all but the very spicy cow leg. I think that was the general consensus. Except the fried plantain was not so popular either. Perhaps because it looked like a fried potato and someone told Joshua that it was, and discovering banana was an unwelcome surprise. 
Callie ate well, see the chicken bone there?! She's hamming it up for the camera.
Yes, they did like the chicken. I think they all liked that the best and ate a lot of it. 
We got to see some fabulous dancing. They looked so amazing and danced so beautifully. And the music made you want to get up and join them.
It was all so graceful and beautiful. I enjoyed it immensely. The children watched one or 2 and then ran away. The music was a bit loud!And now for some fun..... Extreme Close-ups!!

Did you get a new camera? I love closeup pictures, just not of myself. I would have loved your African activity; it sounds like it was wonderful with the food and dancing and music.
