The picnic

"What about here?"asked Victoria Truffle one sunny and surprisingly warm morning. The Truffle family were going for a picnic in Hazelnut Meadow. "Yes, this is the perfect spot to have our picnic!"said 

Eustace. 

They opened up the hamper and,  much to the babies' delight, it was filled with lots of yummy cakes and biscuits! The smell of chocolate wafted out of the hamper. 

They laid everything out on the blanket and tucked in. There was so much to choose from! 

Once everybody was quite full, they packed up and tried to squeeze everything into the hamper. 

Eustace had to sit on the hamper to get it shut! 

For a while they lay under the tree for some cool shade. 

"Do you want me to read you a story?"asked Victoria. "Yay!"squealed an excited but tired Charlie.

"Ok then,...." She was about to start reading the book but she realised that there was no need for her to. Eustace and Victoria laughed. The triplets were already fast asleep!
