Last Sunday, we went to the park in order to spend the day together. Marie and I prepared a nice picnic with (some) ham sandwiches, (some) cherry tomatoes and a delicious apple tart. We were lucky because it was sunny. After lunch, I played ball with Timoté while Marie was reading a book in the sun, then we bought some ice cream. Timoté's face was covered in strawberry ice cream, he was so cute!

Clever stuff happening!
