"You look as tired as I feel!" Kerry Smith teased lightly to her friend and colleague Honey Casper.
Honey gave her a smile. "The kids wouldn't sleep last night, they're so excited about today."
Kerry nodded. "I know, but Smithy's the biggest kid of them all."
Honey laughed. "I was going to say exactly the same thing about Dan!"
"You talking about us?" Dan asked as he and Smithy walked into the kitchen at the Casper's house.
"No darlin', you're just being paranoid." Honey smirked, going over to Dan and giving him a soft kiss.
"How's the picnic going?" Smithy asked, walking up behind Kerry and putting his arms around her waist from behind.
"It's going fine thank you, if you'd stop eating it!" Kerry laughed as her husband stole a sandwich from the pile.
"We'll go and make sure the kids are ready if you two want to finish the packing up the picnic." Honey said as she and Dan went upstairs to where both of the couple's children were playing.

Superintendent Gina Gold, DCI Neil Manson and DI Samantha Hunter were in charge of setting up the five aside football tournament that was taking place later than afternoon after a picnic in Canley Park. DS Phil Hunter and Sergeant Andrea Manson were in charge of looking after both sets of children. The problems both married couple had had with Stuart and Philippa were long forgotten and they had made it through to the future without a backwards glance. They were glad that they were still together after all of the ups and downs and now they had children; the future was looking pretty good for them all.

"Zain, we're going to be late!" DS Suzie Sim called upstairs to her husband.
"We'll be there in a second!" He replied, Suzie sighed she knew that they'd be at least another five minutes. She didn't want to be late for the picnic and she didn't want Josh to be late for the five a side football match that was taking place between their colleagues kids.
As predicted five minutes later Zain and his and Suzie's 6 year old son Josh made their way downstairs.
"What took you so long?" Suzie asked.
Zain blushed slightly. "We were playing on the X Box, sorry."
Suzie laughed. She was beginning to wonder whether it was Zain or Josh who was supposed to be the child.

At three o'clock the Sun Hill families packed up their picnics and the parents got ready to watch the football match between their children. They were divided into two equal teams. One the first teams was Chris Smith, Natasha and Alicia Manson, Josh Nadir and Tom Casper. On the other team was Katie Smith, Stephanie and Scott Hunter, Jake Manson and Hayley Casper. The game ended with a draw and the children went back to their parents who were grinning at them, showing them how proud they were. At the end of the afternoon they all went back to Sun Hill to watch the the final match of the World Cup 2014. England had made it to the final this year and they all had their fingers crossed that 2014 would be the year that England would bring the World Cup home. The atmosphere was tense with excitement as the match began, England were playing Portugal. At half time England were losing 0-1 to Portugal and the supporters groaned. Sam went to sit beside Suzie.
"I'm still not getting this game." She confided in her fellow sergeant. "But it keeps the kids happy." She laughed, pointing at where Phil and Paul had their eyes glued to the screen.
Neil put his arm around Andrea's shoulders, their daughters were sat on the floor at their feet and Jake was sitting next to his father.
Smithy was sat talking to his daughter. "I was very impressed with that goal." He was saying seriously and Kerry found it hard not to laugh.
"Thanks Dad." She smiled back.
Everyone went quiet as the second half started and England scored an equaliser in the first five minutes. They all cheered and more beer and wine was opened. They thought the match was going to go to penalties when suddenly England scored a goal. The room erupted with cheers as the referee blew the final whistle. It was the perfect end to a perfect day.
