This is the moment. A beautiful photograph in any man's language but benefiting also from the very nice treatment you have given it.
I like the idea of the little boy's back to the camera but a little more of the girl's face at the back would have been nice. Very minor nitpic in this case.
The laughter and body language of the little girl on the left is priceless and the boy's (the one on the right) awareness of the camera is comical. Just the right amount of blur on the background too to boot.

Not much more I can add to Tom's comments. Just a superb capture of the moment - a moment of pure innocence and joy.

The standing girl's posture is perfect - a gut splitting laughter.
The boy's look to the camera - as if wanting to share the joke with the viewer.

Thanks Tom and Loupey...The whole scene was over in a split second..Once the little girl on the left saw me the whole group stared at me with blank expressions..

Beautifully timed photographed. I've been trying to get candid moments like this for awhile and know how fast your instincts (luck too) have to be or you end up with the subjects just staring back at you, as you mentioned.
This is well composed and I love everything about it. Great job.
Cheers,
