Harmony Day Picnic Lunch

So it was that time of year again, Harmony Day.  Well at least here in Australia.  Have any of you Americans ever heard of Harmony day?  Is it just an Australian thing, or do Americans just not care as much about Harmony?  Haha, just kidding.  I just had never heard about it before.  But now we are on our second Harmony day celebrated here!  I can't believe that we have been here this long that we are repeating things we did last year!  Just crazy!

Anyways, here are some pictures of eating a picnic lunch with the girls at school.  I just love both my girls so much and what kind and caring little girls they are.  They were both very concerned about making sure their friends whose parents couldn't make it felt welcome eating with us.  They were also both very generous about sharing the goodies I brought them.  They are sweet hearts.

 We picked up Ava from her class and went and ate over by Lily's class.  Besides their regular lunches, the girls requested donuts and pink fizzy drink. So that is what I brought.

 And a big bag of cucumbers for our cucumber loving boy.  He seriously loves cucumbers!  I think he survives on milk, apples, cucumbers and chips.  There could be worst diets.

 There's all three...not sure what they are doing in these photos, but neither of them is very decent.
 Will found a nice place to just lounge and stuff his face with cucumbers. What a life!

 Playing on the playground.
 After we were done eating and playing by Lily's classroom we headed back over to Ava's.  Will was in heaven.  He could play with these trucks for as long as he wanted and didn't have to be torn away from them.

 I was trying to get a photo of Ava and Sonya, and Ava put this baby doll up right in front of her face as I took the picture!  Haha.
 Here is Ava with some more of her friends.  Sonya, from Thailand, Lara from the Czech Republic, Tallulah Mae from England and Ava the American!  Can you believe what a culturally diverse place we live in?  They are all so cute!!!

It was fun to go eat lunch with the girls and get in Harmony.  :)  This year, they combined Harmony day with anti-bullying.  I thought it went together well.  So one of Ava's friends got an extra anti bullying bracelet and he gave it to Ava.  Which was nice.  Well a little while later, Ava came back, quite upset becauase another boy in her class took the bracelet from her claiming it was his.  I thought it was a bit ironic that Ava had been bullied into giving up her anti-bullying bracelet!  Haha!

All in all it was great picnic lunch.

  1. Oh my gosh! Ava looks so grown up in her school outfit and that's an awesome picture of her 3 friends, all from different countries! And what a fun little boy Will is. Love the picture of him relaxing and eating the cucumbers!
