Nothing Without Joy!

Yesterday when we discussed our visit to the Garden Centre and Cornwall Park, I asked the girls

'What were some of the things that you enjoyed the most on our outing?'

I was expecting conversations about all that we had seen and experienced together.

At the Garden Centre we saw beautiful flowers, interesting sculptures, plants,
colourful umbrellas, the garden furniture that the girls enjoyed trying out; and at Cornwall Park there was the lambs and chickens, the babies out for a walk with their mums, 
the view from Maungakiekie, rolling down the bank, running through the trees
and the rows and rows of different types of Daffodils ...

And what did they ALL say?

Trying to get the Monster off the roof of the van as we went over the bumps!
The laughter and joy was wonderful.

As each bump was coming up I would call out...
Are you Ready?

And they would answer loudly...
Yes we are! 

We loved it when Tess, was calling out the question and the answer perfectly. 
She is catching on to so many words so quickly.

So, as Carla Rinaldi says
'Nothing Without Joy',
and that's certainly what we all experienced on Monday.
