Today we went to help chop down some trees and do a general garden clean up for some friends of ours. The husband has been very sick and Keith has been wanting to do this for them for months amongst all his other jobs.
Terina and Niwa came too and they never moaned the whole 3 hours we were there and
they got stuck in and helped gather garden waste and put it into bags etc.
Niwa was so fascinated by one of the trees Keith cut down. (The Wattle tree)
He loved the little black seeds he found inside their little pods. Funny I remember
many moons ago when I was at primary school and I loved them too.
A cute photo of Niwa and his daddy ready to use the chainsaw.

AVERY STRONG MAN BELOW (LOL)
It's funny when you do a bit of service for someone as a family.
It tends to unite you and it always feels good to help those in need.
After this little activity we went to the Gelato ice cream shop and had sushi
for lunch. Niwa said about 3 times when we got home, "that was fun today
aye mum, helping aunty cut her trees". Because Terina and Niwa raved on so
much about it, Arama said he wished he was there too. I hope that wasn't
because of the ice cream shop we visited but because of the spirit of service he felt
as we all talked about it!
