Harry Potter Cousins' Camp 2017

With loads of serious preparation, the aunties pulled off another fantastic Cousins' Camp, this year with a Harry Potter theme. It was a one-day affair in which the cousins found clues and destroyed horcruxes in a series of clever adventures. It all took place on 1 July 2017 after days of hard work.

There was so much more not shown here, because these are the parts I was involved in; Phillip and I spent the day in the kitchen baking. The kiddos had a great time, even though it was a rather warm day and they were dragging a bit by the end. Thanks again to the aunties who made this so much fun.

That's all for now.
