I'm baking cookies tonight because what is a Mennonite girl to do when she moves to a new place...BAKE!
Today was our day to try to recover from jet lag so we mostly relaxed at home. We went for a walk to the grocery store which is conveniently located at the end of Stock Yard path. Here is some pics and video of that path - http://tramwalks.viawalking.com.au/kensington-newmarket-saleyards-and-maribyrnong-river-melbourne-walks-via-melbourne-trams/ It's nice because the path is right behind our house and goes all the way to the grocery store so we don't have to worry about road traffic with the kids on the way.
We got home from the store and outside our house was a Pack and Play for Emily and a basket full of toys and books from our homeowners mom. It was so lovely. It is so nice to be able to show our kids how there are so many amazing and generous people in the world. That is a major reason why I wanted to do this adventure with them; to show them that "Down Under" can quickly slip into "down home" with a chocolate chip cookie and some kindness.
