Then, celebration over, we reverted to our normal weekend pattern: I took the kids out for the day so Zac could get stuff done around the house. I took the kids to Durham for the day, where they played in the treehouses for a long time while I was able to talk to my friend Shanu on the phone.
Alice wanted to take a picture of the sunflower with my phone, then she actually took a picture of me as well.
After lunch, we just so happened to run into Robyn and her kids (Oscar, Felix, Xavier), so then we just played with them the rest of the afternoon, mainly at the bug house.
"Simon, try to open your eyes when you smile."
"Ok, how's this?"
