"Yes, watch," Braxton's dad said with a smile over in Jason's direction. It never even occurred to him that muggle photographs would be any different then the wizarding ones. I mean didn't all the pictures move? "You haven't ever seen a photo?" he asked with a slightly puzzled look on his face as he reached into his pocket and took out his wallet. After flipping through it he found a photo of Brax as a little tike running around and smiling up at the camera. He raised the picture so that Jason could see what he meant by watch. After all in the photo little Brax was running around the boundaries of it.
Braxton had a bite to go and then he would be done with his cone. After finishing it off he listened as the adults talked about pictures. He knew from talking to Ryan that the muggle world and the wizarding world were very different in what they did and the way that they did it, but still something so stable as pictures should be a constant across both in his opinion.

Jason thought it was odd that Brax's dad asked if he had seen a photograph. Obviously he had and everyone that he had seen certainly didn't play like a movie or something you were able to watch. You looked at photos but didn't watch them, so he was still a bit confused at his persistant use of the word. "Of course I have seen one." he said with a laugh, pulling out his wallet and flipping through it to find the pic he was looking for. "I have one of my sons with me." he continued pulling a picture that had been taken the last time Ryan had came to Australia to visit him. It was a photo of Ryan and his other son on one of the beaches near their home.
After handing it to Brax's dad he looked at the photo that he was brandishing and saw what he had meant by watch. It was like a little movie clip in side of a piece of paper that just kept rewinding itself. Oh he would definitely have to get Brax's dad to give him some of these. They were way better then the normal pictures in the muggle world. "That is neat." he said with a smile watching Brax racing around the edges of it.

"Really, I would love to see your other son," Brax's mom said with a smile as Jason looked for his photo of them. Then looking over her husbands shoulder at the picture that Jason had handed him she continued, "That's a really nice picture you have there. There both so cute in it and the beach looks wonderful."
Brax wanted to take a look at the photo of Ryan and his brother as well. He noticed right off that they didn't move in the photo, but still it was a pretty cool one in his opinion. Man he wished they had beaches like that where he lived. He hadn't ever been to one like that before.

Ryan pulled the picture of Braxton out of his dad's hands so that he could get a better look at it. He had let his dad look at it for a second or so. That was long enough right? Not really, but he really wanted to see the picture and how it moved so he figured he would let his dad look at it in a minute or so after he did. He thought that it was awesome that it moved like that without having to have a computer chip in it or be wide enough to house the things necessary to play a movie in a picture frame. He had seen some in the muggle world that you could put a clip or cycle pictures through, but they were pretty bulky and operated like a computer. This picture didn't even have a picture frame or anything that could hide what was making it move, which he thought was cool.
Jason couldn't believe that Ryan had snatched the photo right out of his hands and just stared at him increduously. "Um...bud it would have been nice to ask first." he said to Ryan, not trying to embarrass him but to point out that it wasn't good manners to just take something from someone. Of course it was worthless that he even said this because Ryan just ignored him.

Once Braxton had finished looking at the photo of Ryan and his brother he passed it back to Jason so that he could put it back in his wallet. He thought that Ryan's little brother looked like he was around the same age as Corbin which was pretty cool. If they ever got together as families Corbin would even have someone to play with. Of course Braxton wasn't taking in to consideration the fact that Jason and his family lived in Australia, which wasn't really all that close in proximity to where he lived.
Corbin who hadn't gotten to see the picture walked over to where Braxton was handing it back and asked Jason, "Can I have a look at it too?"

Still a bit annoyed with Ryan he turned his attention back to Brax's parents and what they were saying about the photo they were looking at. "Ya they aren't bad looking." he said not really wanting to boost about his kids, one of which was currently a little less cute to him at the moment, rudely taking photos and everything but he would get over that. "The beaches are wonderful. That one there is really close to our house, it's just off our backyard." Jason said with a smile, "You guys will have to come and see it sometime. We'll have a bonfire or something." Taking the picture that Braxton was handing back to him he just smiled at Corbin and handed him the picture so that he too could see it.
Meanwhile Ryan was still looking at the picture that moved, but thought that he should let his dad see it again while he finished his ice cream off, since most of the others were done with theirs. Handing his dad back the picture that he had grabbed he quickly finished off his ice cream.

Corbin took the picture from Jason with a smile. Looking at it for a minute he then returned it to him and went back to where he was sitting.
"That would be great," Braxton said with a smile when Jason said that they should come over an visit them sometime. He would love to see Australia, but didn't know when they would be able to go. After all he was going to Hogwarts in a couple of weeks. Maybe on one of the breaks or something.
"We'll have to see if we can find a time to do that," Brax's dad said with a smile. He knew that if they were going to do that then they would have to save up for a bit before they actually went over there.

"We'll plan a time and you guys can stay with us. We have a couple of extra bedrooms and you guys are more than welcome at anytime." Jason said with a smile thinking that it would be great to have some company. He knew that they weren't loaded and had no intention of forcing them to come, but if they did he would make sure that it didn't cost them a fortune once they were there.
"Ya you should come." Ryan said with a excited glint in his eyes, "Then I can show you how to surf and everything."

"Surfing would be awesome," Braxton said with a smile. "I have never tried that before, and it would be great to give it a try." He thought it would be cool to see and especially to hangout with Ryan there. After all it was like having his very own tour guide. Jason and Ryan must know all of the cool places.

"It is really fun." Ryan said with a grin, "It isn't that hard to pick up either. I just need a bit of time in the water and I'll have you up in no time." He was trying to think of a time that they could go to surf in Australia and came to the conclusion that they could probably paln something over their Christmas vacation if Brax's family was up to it and he could convince his mom to let him spend Christmas with his dad. Right now wouldn't really be a good time because it was currently winter in Australia.

"We'll definitely have to plan something," Brax's mom said with a smile. She could see how excited they were about the probability and knew that it would be nice to get away. After all her and her husband had never been there before either, so it would be an adventure. "But for now should we make our way over to the joke shop?" She knew that planning would have to go into the trip and that it couldn't be done right there.

Ryan just beamed as Brax's mom said that they would have to plan something. To him that meant that it was a for sure thing. He didn't even consider that something might come up or that plans always changed.
"We'll have to." Jason said with a smile. He would definitely make sure that they planned something. "Ya, I think everyone is done with their ice cream." he continued as he got up from where he was sitting and prepared to make his way over to the joke shop.

"Ya lets," Braxton said as he jumped up from where he was sitting. He was all for going over to the joke shop and looking around. Waiting for the rest of them to join him he stood there for a minute. After everyone was to their feet he tucked his chair under the table and headed out in the general direction of the joke shop. Of course, like always, Corbin was trying to stay caught up with the boys. He was just so small that it really wasn't possible, but he was always happy trying.

Ryan was ready to go to the joke shop. They had been sitting outside of the ice cream place for quite some time and he thought that they should get a move on. After all he needed some supplies to reek havoc on Hogwarts when he got there. He was sure that him and Brax could find a number of things to do get into trouble doing, that was if they were caugh. Okay, so he wasn't really going to reek havoc but it was and interesting idea. Getting up from his place at the table he made his way, with Brax, over to the joke shop. His dad was right behind the kids, trailing a little ways back with the adults.

Reaching the joke shop Brax pulled open the door and went inside, not even really paying attention to the out coming people. Oh well they would just go around him right? After all he was too excited to even take notice of them. Smiling at this his mom came in a couple of seconds later giving the man that Brax had almost trampled a small smile and said, "Please excuse them, they are just excited to look around."
Corbin also had entered the shop a little before his mother, but really around the same time as her. Considering he had been trying to open the heavier door for a couple of seconds, giving the adults enough time to catch up to him.
