Earth Day Recap

This is what we made to celebrate Earth Day:
Any guesses what it is?  Maybe this will help:
My hubby, son, and I created the earth last night, with its 7 continents out of 7 different kinds of fruits!!  We made an Australian meringue dessert called a pavlova that was simply to die for.  It just melts in your mouth!  We topped it with whipped cream and some of our favorite fruits!


The only problem was that my little guy couldn't wait for the pavlova to bake... he is such a fruit lover!  He had to sample all of the fruits, but he totally cleaned house on the strawberries and kiwi.  Plenty of vitamin C intake today!  Don't you love that excited look on his face...
I think we just started a new tradition.... because I know I'll be wanting to make this again next Earth Day!!

PS I DO have a free download coming... it will probably make a late appearance though. :)

    Fun idea! My boss is from Tazmania so whenever we go to his house for a cookout we can expect some pavlova. Yummmm!

    That is awesome. My older boys would love it because they think they are map experts. I will have to save that for next week's FHE dessert.
