Friends

"Come on mom, hurry up!" Caius shouted, bouncing with excitement as he and Erasmi spread out the checkered blanket for a picnic. It was their day out and of course they had a list of things to do! 

"Hold your horses, buddy," Erasmi laughed, unpacking the wicker basket that he placed on the blanket.. "We've got all day."

Caius buzzed around like a little bee, darting from one spot to another as he made sure to place everything properly. "Can I have a sandwich? Oh, and some strawberries! I am starved!"

Ava shook her head, already prepared for the hunger pang. Caius was always hungry these days.

Erasmi, on the other hand chuckled as he passed the sandwich," At this rate, you will be giving Seb a run for his money!"

Caius rolled his eyes," Uncle Seb has already lost to me! You don't know, when the two of you were away, Uncle Seb and I had a competition! He lost! And then he claimed that it was because I was a growing boy that he decided to lose."
