Having a miserable time with their cousins:

Claire,  Gavin & Alicia (“Alisha”)

Uncle Darryl helps Gavin sink a Battleship:

Also,  Claire teaches ClaraJane some *magic tricks.*  “You can CLEARLY see my hat is empty…”

Ta da!

CJ also makes Claire magically disappear (from behind a cloth conveniently located by a flight of stairs):

Before we go, a moment for the chronically attention-starved “dog,” Flicka:

“At LAST.  Someone FINALLY understands me!”
