Day 11 - Happy Mother's Day

Today being Mother's Day was our first official day off from the schedule and I was lucky enough to celebrate this special day with my host family and three of their four kids and their four grandchildren.

I started the day with eggs benedict as Jim, my host dad, is a bit of a whizz in the kitchen (he's even publishing his own cookbook!). He also whipped up a couple of 'key lime pies' for dessert... this was absolute torture as I wasn't allowed to touch them until after dinner!

My host 'grandpa' is Jack and funnily enough he was born in Perth in 1919. His family had a farm in Kirrup but they moved to the States when he was two years old.

A big Happy Mother's Day to all our Mums back home in WA (we miss you all) and also to our Temeculan host 'Moms'.
