My first weekend of the holiday

Imagine this on the first Friday off the school holiday waking up at 6:30 am. Shocking isn’t it supposed to be a holiday, but that day I went to work with my Dad. We went to Duder an Auckland regional park. My Dad is a contractor so he sometimes he will do jobs at the parks. We went there and Dad had to talk to the man to ask how he wanted him and Poppy to lift up the shipping container.
While Dad went and got the digger he got me to stand by the gate and open it for Poppy. Just my luck when it started to rain on the angle I was standing on. When Poppy came Dad had just come with the digger. They lifted up the shipping container and put a couple blocks of wood under it. When we were done I got asked to shut the gate but the wind to it out of my hands and got a big dent in Poppy’s ute. After that Dad, Poppy and I went and cleaned the Little digger (Hyundai 1.6 tonne) and the big digger (Hyundai 12 tonne). We sent about 15 minutes trying to get the water blaster going because Dad accidentally left the choke on.
But when it got going Dad let me water blast the tracks but while dad finished the rest off the diggers I got some photos and videos on my Gopro. After we washed both off the diggers we loaded them onto their own trailer’s. While Dad was loading the big digger onto the trailer I had some lunch. Then Poppy realized there was a big dent in his ute. This ute he got in July. He said it was ok but dad kept on joking around saying “It ain't new any more” then continuing to laugh. Dad and I jumped into the Truck and Poppy followed us behind in his ute with the little digger on the back.
We went to Wiri to get the sand for The Ambury Farm Day. We continued on our way to Mangere. We went to Ambury Park and dropped off the diggers and tipped off the sand. We saw one of the workers running around and his name is Gary. We left the Truck there and we hopped into Poppy’s ute. We went back to Duder and dropped Dad off at his ute. Poppy and I went to poppy’s house in Orere Point as I was staying at Aunty’s . He went over to the shed for a little bit while I did a coloring in competition.
Shirley got home and we ordered some hamburgers from the local shop and had some chips, onion rings and Pizza. I was filled after that. Aunty finally got home at 8 oclock. Aunty works for Water Care in New market. The traffic is really bad so she gets home late. We went to Aunty’s house (next door) and I had a glass of juice and a cheese and cracker. I had a shower and then I went to bed. The next morning when I woke up I got a Up and go and turned on the Tv and sat there and slowly started to wake up. We made our way to Manukau City and to The Mall. We went shopping and I got some pairs of new jeans and a couple t-shirts and I can’t forget the Sushi.
We continued to shop then we went to Takanini Pak'nsave and got some food for dinner.
Aunty and I decided we should get a chocolate thick shake at Mcdonalds. We made our way back to Orere point. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing. We had Sausages, Salad and mashed potatoes for dinner. I can’t forget dessert. We just relaxed some more and then I had a shower and went to bed. The Next morning I woke up bright and early and got ready to go to the Farm day. The Ambury farm day is a day to show the people of Auckland and places around there how farming works. There is also fun activities like making your own butter from cream and all these rides kinda like what you would go on at a Amp show. I went onto a big trampoline with harness and did a couple back flips.
Dad and Poppy let the Kids and some big ones too have a chance to go on their diggers and the lines are quite long because the hardly see anything like that let alone play on it and push some leavers. Ambury Park has a lot of history behind it as well. Ambury being nearby Māngere Mountain was once the site of a large fortified Māori pā and the area now known as Ambury Regional Park was used by Māori for gardening.
Māngere Mountain erupted approximately 18,000 years ago and the park sits atop a lava field made fertile by ash from the volcano. After the farm day is over Dad and Poppy took the diggers to Duder. Jayde went with Dad in the truck and Kaylah , Mum and I went in the car and got some real fruit ice cream and strawberries. Once we dropped off the digger we came home and had dinner and you can’t forget about watching the block.
