We have just returned from our family holiday in Ireland...
We had a couple of days in Dublin...
Modern Art Museum...
Visited the Temple Bar area...
Trinity College...
And my favourite, The Natural History Museum...
When we opened the door into this room a wall of noise hit you, I have never seen so many excited children in one place, it was great to see (and hear !) their wonder at seeing the animals...
Of course we needed lots of running about to let off steam between all this culture...
After a tiring and packed two days in Dublin we headed over to East Clare...
Visited King Johns castle in Limerick, where you have to have the obligatory photo taken on a cannon...
We had the windiest and possibly the coldest day on the beach..
Clemmie obviously does not feel the cold like anyone else....
Ireland does have some of the most spectacular beaches though...
After the beach it was a brisk walk to the top of the Cliffs of Moher...
The sun even peeped out for a little while....
But the wind did not stop....
So that's another family holiday over, tiring and busy days, but happy easily pleased children who enjoy nothing better that the simple things like playing in streams...
Playing together...
Or alone with favourite toys...
Maria, it sure looks like you and your family had a wonderful vacation in Ireland , such a beautiful country .Great pictures , thanks for sharing your visit I enjoyed the virtual tour .
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Maria! I miss Ireland so much! The Cliffs of Moher are always beautiful, as is any part of County Clare. I'm glad you had such a great time. Lynda xx
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, somewhere I would love to visit one day.
ReplyDeleteLovely holiday...lovely photos. Your children are so alike!
ReplyDeleteIreland is a country that we have never visited, but it looks beautiful.
this is giving me such a deeply wistful "wish I was there" feeling.
ReplyDeleteAnd my son would be in LOVE with your girls... (he gets these impossible crushes, and suddenly becomes quite extroverted!) :)
A beautiful family you have.
Thanks for sharing your holiday photos. Ireland is on our 'to do' list . . . It looks so wonderful, if you think the beaches there are lovely you'll most certainly have to head down under and check out New Zealands beaches, we certainly have some gorgeous ones. Actually when we were in Europe the one thing I missed about home the most was the beach. I remember RUNNING to the water at Brighton Beach because I was just so happy to see water LOL.
ReplyDeleteYour children are just gorgeous - love the blonde! My babes are blondies too.
Welcome back Maria! Glad to hear you had a good holiday even if a little chilly cold. I enjoyed my time in Ireland years back, it reminds me of NZ a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove Dublin - great atmosphere to the place. Thanks for stopping by - the Love cushion seemed a bit wasted just being on my bed as only I get to see it - now it has a home in the Hideaway everyone gets to admire it (and all comment on how neat the stitching is!) Cushion envy all round xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you all had a wonderful time! I love Dublin, I have been twoce now, and I really enjoyed both times. Brilliant! Susie xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour of Dublin! It looks fabulous, another place still on my wish list...
ReplyDeleteAnd your kiddies are SO cute!!
