Aaron's Blog

Last Friday at Beavers, Aaron was helping to sand and paint a Christmas Tree made out of a pallet. I went along and helped as well for the session, along with some other Dads. The pallet Christmas Trees had been made already outside of Beavers by some Dads who were carpenters, so they were all ready to be sanded down and then painted. Aaron and I managed to get our own tree to begin with, but then some of the other Beavers in Aaron’s lodge helped out until the green paint ran out. We managed to finish off the entire front of the tree by the end of the session but didn’t get to paint all of the back of the tree unfortunately. Also, some of the other Beavers managed to get green paint on the star, which was slightly annoying as I would have bought that tree for sure if it was just myself and Aaron that had worked on it. Aaron had good fun and enjoyed the painting and I managed to get him to do nice smooth strokes, but had it all over him by the end! Next week, they are going to be decorating the tree and Kelly is staying to help with that! 😉
