Hi there lovelies. I am Makana from PB&J Handprints. Come on in! Have a seat! Can I get you some lemonade? How about some TIM TAMS? Or Milo? Or whatever else you drink in the land down undah’ ’cause  I know you want to go there. Or go back. And here is your chance. And you are welcome.

It started with this little invite the night before. Don’t fret my friends. I made it cute with leftover scrap paper. And you can download it too to make it cute or leave it how it is. Just right-click on the picture and print it from your web browser.

In style, you say? How are we traveling in style to Australia? (Well, our TX version…)

In my car. But did you catch that I AM DRIVING.  Its kinda a big deal because the boy generally drives in this relationship.

Our first stop was the zoo.  Since down undah’ there are loads of animals, I thought we would go on a scavenger hunt for all sorts of animals.  I found animals from Australia that would also be at our zoo.  I laminated the paper and each person had a dry erase marker to check off what animals they saw.

(If you wanted this to be really cheap you could find animal books at the library or bookstore instead)

Yes, the monkey is in fact mooning me. I know you are jealous.

Mamma giraffe and new baby giraffe.

After our day at the zoo, we headed to a yummy little place you have probably heard of.

And this is what inspired the date…. a high school fundraiser.  I’m sorta a big sucker for kids selling things.  We had never been to Outback before as a couple so it was a FIRST!  I heart firsts. And I heart heart sunglasses.

And since this date was to the zoo it was really kid-friendly so we brought along our favorite kid (yours truly is on the right. The other right. The one WITHOUT heart-shaped glasses).

But we were not quite done, so after stuffing ourselves like true Australians (I have no research to base that on, BTW).  We played a game that I KNOW is played in Australian because it involves Tim Tams and one of my best friends is Australian and she told me about it so it must be true…(that was a really long sentence to say in one breath).

 You have to eat as many as possible without using your hands. I found these lovelies on Amazon.

…for the record… its hard. Bless my little heart…

The loser (the one with the least points=animals found+tim tams shoved in face) has to give the winner a massage. Honest. It is the standard rule of bets.

Mahalo, Makana

  1. Haha! This is so funny. I’m an Aussie and as Sarah says – you HAVE to try the Tim Tam Slam. Amazeballs. Also, another Aussie dessert which is truly mouth watering? Pavlova.

    Really awesome website by the way, you have some excellent ideas and inspiration! Keep it up! 🙂
