Ra Whanau Celebrations

We are coming toward the end of our 2013 year and several children are moving onto school at the beginning of the new term next year.  We have a birthday celebration for each child and they plan the day along with their family.

We are always in awe of what families share with us and Innes birthday celebration was no exception. It was to be a surprise for Innes! 

Innes was excited to have Mum and Pippa to come to Kindergarten with him but also Grandad because he was going to cook the 'snorkers' (sausages) and in Innes words "Grandad cooks a good snorker! " and they were!

But the biggest surprise was chugging down the road and Dad grinning behind the wheel!

 Innes was grinning and asked immediately if he could climb aboard and with the affirmative he took the wheel.  Innes had another trick up his sleeve too and turned to Dad and asked, "Can I?"
Dad nodded and Innes leaned over and pulled the string and Chugga Chugga let out a very loud toot.
So loud that peaple from near and far began to arrive with cameras and all!

Thank you very much to Innes and his family for a wonderful morning!
