Summer evening in the garden

Laura, Miranda, Florence and Nicholas James decided to spend the evening in the garden.  It has been very hot all day, too hot for them to go out into the sunshine, so when the evening came they were delighted to grab the blocks and go outside to play in the warm evening light.  They were determined that all their friends and cousins enjoying the Sasha Festival in the USA wouldn't be the only ones having lots of fun.

The blocks all stacked and ready

NJ starts the game, he takes a block from below and places it on top

Miranda's turn next

Laura carefully slides a block out, she doesn't want to upset the pile

Florence has a go next

NJ takes a turn again

Miranda pushes one out the middle

Laura's turn (with a bit of help from my girl)

Laura places the block on top

Florence lies down to get the low block out

NJ takes a side block out and places it on top

Miranda takes a risk and removes the other side block, making the tower unstable

And it falls down, which makes Miranda sit down in surprise

Laura is very disappointed as she wanted another turn

Florence starts to pick the blocks up

They all help to put the blocks back in the box

NJ slides the box down the blocks

They all wish their friends in the USA lots of fun at the festival and would like to point out this summer is suddenly much better than the dull, cool weather at last year's festival in England (glorious hot and warm weather for two weeks and more promised - wow!).
