I had wondered most of the day would I get a blip today to fill the Topic for the "losealetter" challenge, a very clever challenge posted by chantler63..

the boys came over today, Jaxon & Koen cousins of almost the same age, Koen has already turned 11 Jaxon turns 11 on the 26th a week Monday, they are like Laurel & Hardy at this age full of good humour and always bantering with each other, trying to get one joke better than the other, or some snippet of info about a computer game, it's priceless watching and listing to them, we went to the botanicle gardens for slushies and a walk through the tropical trees and man - made little steams running through them, I had taken a few shots while they weren't looking, so engrossed with each other and enjoying each other's company, I hadn't seen this one coming, and didn't think I had captured the look on Jaxons face after Koen had given him a barrage of jokes until I had taken my blips off the camera and loaded them onto the iPad, I have no idea what Koen said to get this startling reaction from Jaxon but there it is, the blip for the first challenge topic ... I will be sure to ask them next week when I see them, no doubt neither will remember ...
