To sneak away for a while

We were at a family gathering this afternoon and after a long sitting session that ended with a huge cake, my son took me aside and said:

-Mum, let´s sneak away and sketch for a while.

And so we did. We went down to the basement of the house and picked up our sketch pads and pens from the bags, cause we often have it with us in case of abstinence:)

We had a great time down there, sketching in silence while we heard the noises of the birthday party at a "far enough distance". It´s these kind of moments that I cherish the most.
