We went on the Robert Louis Stevenson’s tomb walk yesterday it was about 30 minute walk up a steep hill. We saw some lizards, we collected some seeds that they use on leis and are used as marbles they come from the tree that they use for making Samoan canoes. When we got up the top there was a really cool view over the Apia harbour and the island. Dad saw a flying fox (fruit bat). We went the long way back and the short way up, it took an hour to get back down. We saw some kapok pods which was the first time we have seen them open. The long way back had lots of obstacles in the way but was not as steep. We also found a huge snail shell, Dad throw it at a tree as the snails are now a pest and destroy the crops. We saw an old bridge but we didn’t need to walk on it.

At the 7th International Siva Afi Competitiions(Fire Dance)

We were on the Mountain Dew tonight...hot stuff!

Ouch...this was the best on the night.

Look at me
Nanna, Aunty Vivienne and Nanna enjoying the show.

We went to the Siva Afi fire dance night. We went with nana, grandad and auntie Viv. We got pizza for tea before we went. When we got there we got a drink of mountain dew. It’s just like fizzy. We had to wait a long time before we saw the show because we where early so we could get a table. When we where going up the drive way we saw a house that was breaking down and I thought it had got on fire from when they where practising. They did it for three nights. We only saw one night of it. One night the seniors did it the second night the juniors did it and the last night was the finals. There was only one girl in the seniors and she was a kiwi. We got heaps of photos. Me Maleina and Latia went and sat right up the front. I got scared 2 times because they chucked knifes up in the air and swag them a round when a boy had 3. There where people that played the drums. There where all kinds of drums that they played. We had an after noon sleep so we would not get grumpy and tied in the night.
