JUNE

Summer started slow, with some time to do nothing much. George and Charlotte played long games involving drawing and action figures. Here's a drawing that is an adventure for Brother Bunny and Baby Lancelot:

The kids had a wonderful time with their cousins:




But the best of all was always the beach:
