Hello everyone! I must apologize for my absence. A lot has happened in the last two years (wow, really? 2 years? Crazy). I realize that I made the rest of my posts for the 'Around the World' with Focus on the Family, but I never polished them and finished them so as to post them for all of you to be able to see! Oh no! So, here they are, very late. I apologize for my tardiness. All will be explained in a future post...
But first... ONWARD!
Hello again, and welcome here! Are you travelling with us around the world with Focus on the Family? If not, why not join in? It is fun, and can be as simple as just following the itinerary they have themselves, or as complex as you wish to make it. I decided to post the links to recipes and youtube videos that I am using with my own kids, as well as the maps and printables I made to go with the 'program' myself. You can view those by clicking the links below.
And so, our last week of our 'travels' took us to the Europe.
Aug 25 - Ireland
We tried going all day without saying yes or no. Very difficult. As in, extremely difficult.
I made colcannon, a cabbage potato dish, and sausage with corn
on the cob.We played Mr. Fox, and we prayed for Ireland.
We watched the national anthem (long start), as well as some videos about Ireland.

Aug 26-France
I decided to make an artichoke kalericotta pie for breakfast with tea and biscuits, and then palmiers for our picnic lunch.
Mark 6:31-32
31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place
pray
And here are the kids prayers.
M - I pray
for France, and thank you that *name of missionary she has been praying for* is helping them in churches. And I pray that more people will go to the
churches and love you
Bram - I pray
for France, and for the churches, and that more people will love You.And now for some links to the National Anthem "La Marseillaise", a video of a 'kids picture book' of Paris, France, we read our Mickey Book about France and also watched a video about facts on the Eiffel tower.
Sweden - Aug 27
We once again did our map and flag work, then found and listened to the Swedish National Anthem - "Du Gamla, Du Fria". We made a dala horse (printable) modified to fit 2 large, 1 medium, and 1 small to one sheet. The kids enjoyed painting theirs.
Here is another fun vid - breakfast around the world.
As silly as it sounds, we went to Ikea, ate lunch there (swedish meatballs... yum), looked at some of their names and things at the store, as they are Swedish. And, well, why not use this as an excuse to go to Ikea, right?
