Max Meets His Cousins

Max had a visit today from his two cousins, Hain and Abigail, who live on a large pastoral spread near Kentucky (New England, not the United States!). They came across with Stephanie, their mother and one of Max's aunts. The meeting lasted about 90 minutes or so and Max and Hain hit it off really well because they are both 6, with Hain slightly older. Abigail is only 3, so was rather out of the loop.

The two boys were soon outside in the wet garden and took only a few minutes to round up a lot of snails. Max had 5 on his arm at one stage as the photo shows, and Hain had one or two. The snails also found their way on to the kids' faces and their trails had to be washed off. Dirt and slime seem to find Max wherever he's located! Then they played hide and seek, marbles and the usual sorts of thing for six year olds.
