"I thought maybe we could have a barbecue," he says, looking up at me, his eyes shining. "For when Mom gets home. Maybe we can ask the kitchen for some burgers and salad, or hotdogs."

"But you didn't waste the day." I look around. I see wooden swings hanging under a huge tree. There's a see-saw, a climbing frame with bars attached, and even a rock-climbing wall. "This place is really something." "I think so too. Better than the big place."
